Brokeback Mountain, by Annie Proulx

Brokeback_Mountain_Annie_ProulxI finally found the time to read the source material for one of the best movies, best love stories, and best gay-themed films I’ve ever seen, Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain.

Annie Proulx’s short story is well written and captivating, and was closely adapted for the big screen by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, who won an Oscar for their wonderful work.

To anyone who loved Brokeback Mountain’s film version I’d recommend reading Ms. Proulx’s story, but be ready to relive all those strong emotions all over again, which might actually be the main reason to pick this up.
