Books Descriptions
Annie Proulx has written some of the most original and brilliant short stories in
contemporary literature, and for many readers and reviewers, "Brokeback Mountain"
is her masterpiece. Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, two ranch hands, come together
when they're working as sheepherder and camp tender one summer on a range
above the tree line. At first, sharing an isolated tent, the attraction is casual,
inevitable, but something deeper catches them that summer. Both men work hard,
marry, and have kids because that's what cowboys do. But over the course of many
years and frequent separations this relationship becomes the most important thing in
their lives, and they do anything they can to preserve it. The New Yorker won the
National Magazine Award for Fiction for its publication of "Brokeback Mountain," and
the story was included in Prize Stories 1998: The O. Henry Awards. In gorgeous and
haunting prose, Proulx limns the difficult, dangerous affair between two cowboys
that survives
