Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 1994 National Book Award, Fiction, 1994 At 36, Quoyle, a third-rate newspaperman, is wrenched violently out of his workaday life when his two-timing partner gets her just desserts. He retreats with his two daughters to his ancestral home on the starkly beautiful Newfoundland coast, where a rich cast of local individuals all play a part in Quoyle's battle to reclaim his life. As three years of his family cobble up new lives, Quoyle confronts his private demons - and the unstable forces of characteristics and society - and starts to start to see the possibility of love without pain or misery. A vigorous, darkly comic, and sometimes wonderful portrait of the modern-day American family, The Shipping News shows why Annie Proulx is recognized as one of the very most gifted and original freelance writers in the us today.
