E. Annie Proulx won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Irish Times International Prize for The Shipping News. An international best-seller, this novel has already established itself as a modern classic. Proulx has also written the short story Brokeback Mountain.

Quoyle is a hapless, hopeless hack journalist living and working in New York. When his no-good wife is killed in a spectacular road accident, Quoyle heads for the land of his forefathers – the remotest corner of far-flung Newfoundland. With ”the aunt” and his delinquent daughters – Bunny and Sunshine – in tow, Quoyle finds himself a part of an unfolding, exhilarating Atlantic drama. The Shipping News is an irresistible comedy of human life and possibility.
