Annie Proulx, one of America's finest writers, invites us to share her experience in the building of her new home on a rich plot of untouched, unspoilt prairie & her pleasure in uncovering of the layers of American history locked beneath the topsoil. ' Bird Cloud' is the name Annie Proulx gave to 640 acres of Wyoming wetlands & prairie & 400 foot cliffs plunging down to the North Platte River. On the day she first visited, a cloud in the shape of a bird hung in the evening sky. Proulx also saw pelicans, bald eagles, golden eagles, great blue herons, ravens, scores of bluebirds, harriers, kestrels, elk, deer & a dozen antelope. She knew she had to purchase the l&, then owned by the Nature Conservancy, & she knew what she would build on it
- a house in harmony with her work, her appetites & her character
- a library surrounded by bedrooms & a kitchen. Proulx's first non-fiction in more than twenty years, Bird Cloud is the story of building that house
- solar panels, a Japanese soak tub, a concrete floor, elk horn handles on kitchen cabinets
- & an enthralling natural history & archeology of the region, inhabited for millennia by Ute, Arapaho & Shoshone Indians. It is also a family history, going back to nineteenth century Mississippi river boat captains & Canadian settlers, & an illuminating autobiography. Proulx, a writer with extraordinary powers of observation & compassion, turns her lens on herself. We understand how she came to be living in a house surrounded by wilderness, with shelves for thousands of books & long worktables on which to heap manuscripts, research materials & maps, & how she came to be one of the great American writers of her time.
