"Brokeback Mountain" by Annie Proulx Length: 1 hour and 4 min. ISBN: 0-7435-5010-2 New York Times Best Seller Listen to an excerpt with: Windows Media Player Real Player |
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.
