Synopsis
Film tie-in edition of the story by Annie Proulx, now a movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Randy Quaid, Anne Hathaway and Heath Ledger. Brokeback Mountain is set in the beautiful, wild landscape of Wyoming where cowboys live as they have done for generations. Hard, lonely lives in unforgiving country. 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, something deadly.

RELEASE NOTES:

*sigh* another book that I haven't got around to releasing yet.

Into bookbox so it can continue its journey

In my Recent Fiction Bookbox when it came home. Box is now travelling to Europe and I was going to let this go with it, but on reflection have changed my mind.
It's on Mount Toobie

Interesting. I'm not a huge fan of Annie Proulx, but I quite enjoyed these stories.
Brokeback Mountain was my favourite.

This book will continue its travels via BookMooch.com.

RELEASE NOTES:

I was looking for this book on the Bookmooch swap site, I found it listed by lellie and since I was familiar with this site, but... hadn't caught much up these parts :-) I chose it knowing I would journal and pass it on. I'm only just realising how short the Brokeback Mountain story is - I thought it was the whole book! Might be only about 20 pages long LOL :-D. I loved the film, the silences and the landscape - it was just great. Poignant to think back to it now with Heath Ledger gone.
