BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN Annie Proulx
The original story on which the film was based. A lovely, slim volume of the story of two ranch-hands, Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar are two ranch hands – ‘drop-out country boys with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, both rough-mannered, tough spoken’ – glad to have found each other’s company where none had been expected. But companionship becomes something else on Brokeback Mountain, something not looked for.
