A brilliant novel from Pulitzer Prize-winning Annie Proulx, author of ¿The Shipping News¿ and ¿Brokeback Mountain¿.¿That Old Ace in the Hole¿ is a richly textured story of one man''s struggle to make good in the inhospitable ranch country of the Texas panhandle, told with razor-sharp wit and a masterly sense of place.Some folks in the Texas panhandle do not like hog farms. But Bob Dollar, the newly hired hog site scout for Global Pork Rind, intends to do his job. Bob must contend with tough men and women like ancient Freda Beautyrooms, who controls a ranch he covets, and Ace Crouch, the windmiller who defies the hog farms. As Bob settles in at La Von Fronk¿s bunkhouse and lends a hand at Cy Frease¿s Old Dog Caf¿he is forced to question everything.
