How the West was Spun

Trust Annie Proulx to tell it like it is. In this article from The Guardian she debunks the myth of the Wild West. (Die-hard Western fans, don't read!) And she's clear-eyed and unsentimental as ever.



If you've not had enough of Proulx's writing, The Guardian website also yields a delightful short story: Hoof-Boots and Bolo Tie.
