Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, two ranch hands, come together when they're working as sheepherder and camp tender one summer on a range above the tree line. At first, sharing an isolated tent, the attraction is casual, inevitable, but something deeper catches them that summer.

Both men work hard, marry, and have kids because that's what cowboys do. But over the course of many years and frequent separations this relationship becomes the most important thing in their lives, and they do anything they can to preserve it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Proulx's understanding is at its most remarkable in the astonishing Brokeback Mountain. [She] knows what she could only know...by the infrared that allows a very few writers clear sight in the dark of the imagination." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Brokeback Mountain does some of the best things a story can do. It abolishes the old West cliches, excavates and honors a certain kind of elusive life, then nearly levels you with the emotional weight at its center." (The Boston Sunday Globe)

Even though everyone wants books that are hours long, this was a quick one hour read, But still very powerful.

It definitely was eye opening. To live in a different time where we weren't allowed to love who we love because you could be harmed for it. It's historical. It shows how much we as a society have truly grown. We live in a time where it's more politicized but we still don't have the fear there once was.

In all honesty this is the only book young LGBTQ students should soak up. Realize how different the world once was and how blessed we are that society changed, thank those who came before us for having to indore the pain and sadness they did. Without them we wouldn't be were we are today. I loved this book and believe it should be read and remembered by everyone.

Where does Brokeback Mountain rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

On a scale from 1 - 10 probably a 3. I honestly just didn't think it was as good as all the hype about it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Brokeback Mountain?

Hmmm, for me, the author captures the space of the West, and how the sheer breadth of it remains,but there is not one specific moment

What does Campbell Scott bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

My experience with The majority of Audible narrators is that they are able to make a story come alive. I am not sure I would have read, or possibly finished this particular book on my own, but it was a decent short story b /w two, long books.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, although it's length makes it possible. I listened to it because my curiosity finally got the best of me. As a short story, it was brilliantly written and succinct. Her prose and word-smithing are quite beautiful and reminiscent, to me, of Cold Mountain. But, I could not connect with any of the characters, like I did in reading Cold Mountain.

Any additional comments?

I just wasn't overwhelmed. I didn't have sympathy or connection for either character.

I tried to like it

I have never heard of Annie Proulx or her work before Ang Lee's movie adaptation of "Brokeback Mountain". And, what is it, anyway? A long short story? A short novel? To me, it's simply a beautiful love story of two people who couldn't live happily ever after. It wasn't unrequited love at all, as we all know that Ennis and Jack REALLY loved each other, more than what you'd expect. The time and the society made it impossible for this two guys in love end up together, and Jack did proposed it! But there's not enough room for two gay / bi guys to have a life together in the world where this story develops.

We all want to be loved. We all have the need to be held and feel like someone actually cares for us. And that's what we should look for and hold tight to it when we find it, even if it's going against what people think. They won't be the ones wiping your tears or holding you at night. Ennis and Jack are just the representation of many, MANY couples who have gone through the same and didn't have the happy ending. That's the stuff art of made of, whether it's a movie, a song, a painting...

Love inspires, but when you can't be with the one you want... That's a force that can change the world. I loved how the author portrayed this wonderful love story, the poetry in her words and the way she chose to tell it makes you stay until the end, refusing to let go and crying with the end.

And, by the way, that "I wish I knew how to quit you" is from here. Amazing film adaptation. And the audiobook read by Campbell Scott is fabulous.

A bittersweet love story

What a perfect story read perfectly. Perfect conveyance of grief and bleakness. Glad I listened to it.

If you liked the film, you will like this every bit as much. Is Annie Prioulx a woman? How can a woman have such amazing insight into the lives of gay men in the 1950s? This is the only writer I know who can create poetry from such sad (and in some ways) sordid lives. Though the outcome is tragic, the fact that two very ordinary men could experience such a passionate and,in their own way, loving feeling for each other gives hope to gay men everywhere. Campbell Scott does an excellent job as narrator too.

Beautiful

Brilliant short story. You can see the film stuck to this original story that was brilliantly written. It is a poignant tragedy, but something everyone should read.

As tragic as it is beautiful
