"Brokeback Mountain" is considered by many readers and critics to be Annie Proulx's masterpiece. She is the author of some of the most inventive and creative short tales in modern literature.
One summer, while working as camp tenders and sheepherders on a range above the tree line, ranch workers Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist cross paths. When they initially share a secluded tent, their attraction is unplanned and casual, but that summer, something more profound captures their attention.
Because cowboys work hard, get married, and have families, so do both men. But as the years pass and they are often apart, their bond becomes more and more crucial, and they will stop at nothing to keep it that way.
"Brokeback Mountain," which appeared in Prize Stories 1998: The O. Henry Awards, earned the National Magazine Award for Fiction from The New Yorker. Proulx describes the challenging and perilous relationship between two cowboys in exquisite and eerie writing, one that endures everything except the world's brutal intolerance.
