Annie Proulx Biography of Annie Proulx :

 

Annie Proulx (born Edna Ann Proulx) is an American journalist and author. She was born in Norwich, Connecticut, to parents of English and Native American/French-Canadian ancestry. She graduated from Deering High School in Portland, Maine, and then attended Colby College, where she met her first husband H. Ridgely Bullock, Jr.

 

She later enrolled at the University of Vermont from 1966 to 1969, and graduated cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a Bachelor of Arts in History in 1969. She got her Master of Arts from Sir George Williams University (now Concordia University) in Montreal, Quebec in 1973. She then pursued, but did not complete, her Ph.D.

 

Starting out as a journalist, her first published work of fiction is thought to be "The Customs Lounge", a science fiction story published in the September 1963 issue of If, under the byline "E.A. Proulx".
She subsequently published stories in Esquire magazine and Gray\'s Sporting Journal in the late 1970s, eventually publishing her first collection in 1988 and her first novel in 1992. Subsequently, she was awarded NEA (in 1992) and Guggenheim (in 1993) fellowships.

 

She won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction for her first novel, Postcards. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for fiction in 1994 for her second novel The Shipping News (1993). The novel was adapted for a movie in 2001.
Her short story Brokeback Mountain was adapted for an Academy Award, BAFTA and Golden Globe Award-winning major motion picture released in 2005.

 

With much attention for The Shipping News, a humble Annie commented: "It\'s not good for one\'s view of human nature, that\'s for sure. You begin to see, when invitations are coming from festivals and colleges to come read (for an hour for a hefty sum of money), that the institutions are head-hunting for trophy writers. Most don\'t particularly care about your writing or what you\'re trying to say. You\'re there as a human object, one that has won a prize. It gives you a very odd, ginger kind of sensation."

She has written most of her stories and books simply as Annie Proulx, but has also used the names E. Annie Proulx and E.A. Proulx.

 

Proulx lived for more than thirty years in Vermont, has married and divorced three times, and has three sons and a daughter (named Jonathan, Gillis, Morgan, and Sylvia, a.k.a. "Muffy"). In 1994, she moved to Saratoga, Wyoming, where she currently resides, spending part of the year in northern Newfoundland on a small cove adjacent to L\'Anse aux Meadows.

Proulx has four sisters: twins Joyce and Janet, who live in Louisana and Florida respectively; Roberta, of Fairlee, Vermont, and Jude, another writer who lives in Wales. Proulx has chosen to have little contact with any of her family over the years. In 2007, she attended a memorial for her father, George Napoleon Proulx, at which all five sisters were together for the first time in over 40 years.
