That Old Ace In the Hole by Anne Prolux

I've been trying to read That Old Ace in the Hole : A Novel, but I'm going to give it up. Annie Proulx has built an impressive encyclopedia of individuals of the Oklahoma panhandle, each with their own life history and quirky personality, but I'm hungry for a plot, something to tie them all together and keep me turning the pages. I'm halfway through and still haven't found a plot, so I'm going to give it up unless one of you, dear readers, presents a compelling reason to keep going.
