Thank you. I was feeling like I was in Bizarro World. "Doesn't deserve the Pulitzer" is one thing. Comparisons to SMeyer? That just seems like anon has an enormous axe to grind.

I agree with everything you've said.

I thought the story was pretty impressive, personally. Generally I find stuff published in The New Yorker to be unbearably pretentious tripe. Brokeback seemed like an attempt to capture a little bit of the soul of a region and community and its outsiders, and I liked that about it.

I could see how the dialect could be annoying, but that's a stylistic choice, not a sign of a hack. And maybe I never paid enough attention to Twilight but I didn't get the feeling SMeyer was trying to capture the soul of a region the way Proulx was, so they really don't seem comparable at all even if Proulx is a bad writer. (Which maybe she is; I liked Brokeback but it may be unusually good. Or her other stories may be so stylistically indistinguishable from it that once you've read one, you've read them all.)
