What is the author's style in Close Range: Wyoming Stories by Annie Proulx?

Each story has its own point of view. Most of the stories are told in the third person point of view, allowing the writer to write through the eyes of multiple characters and to allow the reader to understand the motivations of each of these characters. A few of the stories, such as The Blood Bay, are told through an authorial voice, not really utilizing a particular character as narrator but telling the story through an all-knowing, omniscient voice. A Lonely Coast is written in the first person point of view, telling the story through the eyes of one, unnamed narrator.

Each story has a unique tone that utilizes a unique point of view. Although many of the stories use the third person omniscient point of view, each has its own unique set of characters with their unique motivations, allowing each story to have a confident narration. The stories that are told in an authorial voice are similar to the third person point of view, but the author's voice comes through with knowledge that the characters could not possibly have. This gives the reader information that is important to the development of the plot. Finally, A Lonely Coast is told in the first person point of view, an intimate point of view that offers and opinion on the actions of another character that helps the reader make assumptions about that character's actions without really knowing her real actions.
