Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Proulx's first novel, Postcards, tells the mesmerizing tale of Loyal Blood, who misspends a lifetime running from a crime so terrible that it renders him forever incapable of touching a woman.

From the bestselling author of Brokeback Mountain comes Postcards, the tale of the Blood family, New England farmers who must confront the twentieth century-and their own extinction. As the family slowly disintegrates, its members struggle valiantly against the powerful forces of loneliness and necessity, seeking a sense of home and place forever lost.

Loyal Blood, eldest son, is forced to abandon the farm when he takes his lover's life, thus beginning a quintessentially American odyssey of solitude and adventure. Yearning for love, yet forced by circumstance to be always alone, Loyal comes to symbolize the alienation and frustration behind the American dream.

Industry Reviews

Geoffrey Stokes The Boston Sunday Globe E. Annie Proulx's Postcards triumphantly delivers. Frederick Busch Chicago Tribune A novel that feels like a fifth or sixth, not a first. This richly talented writer announces with Postcards that we had better, from now on, be listening for her voice...astonishingly accomplished. Michael Upchurch San Francisco Chronicle Superb....Postcards makes Proulx as a gifted prose stylist who renders her characters on the page to mesmerizing effect. David Bradley The New York Times Book Review Story makes this novel compelling; technique makes it beautiful. Frederick Busch Chicago Tribune A rich, dark and brilliant feast of a book.
