Close Range Brokeback Mountain and Other Stories
by Annie Proulx
The book behind Ang Lee's Oscar-winning film, Brokeback Mountain, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025.
'These are tales we can almost feel in our bones' SUNDAY TIMES
A collection of short stories inspired by the harsh and unforgiving landscape of Wyoming, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Shipping News.
Originally published in The New Yorker in 1997, Proux's short story, 'Brokeback Mountain' is set in the beautiful, wild landscape of Wyoming where cowboys live as they have done for generations. Hard, lonely lives in an unforgiving country. Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar are two ranch hands, 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 - an intimacy neither can forget.
In 2005, 'Brokeback Mountain' was made into an Academy Award-winning film by Ang Lee, and starred Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway.
