Close Range Brokeback Mountain and Other Stories
by Annie Proulx
Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar live hard and lonely lives as ranch hands in the wild, unforgiving landscape of Wyoming. They are 'country boys with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, both rough-mannered and tough-spoken', glad to have found one another's company where none had been expected. But suddenly companionship becomes something else on Brokeback Mountain : something not looked for, something deadly... Inventive, compassionate and full of macabre humour, the eleven extraordinary tales in Close Range : Brokeback Mountain and Other Stories reveal a writer at the height of her powers.
