Brokeback Mountain

I read Brokeback Mountain, a short story by Wyoming author E. Annie Proulx, just once a few years ago. It was the first book we had to read for the freshman's literature class. Like many great stories, I did not have much understanding for it when I read it at that time. On the other hand, I did not put much time into reading the story anyway. Right now, only a few things still stay in my mind. The two young men and a lot of sheep were left along in the mountain of the Wild West. The cold mountain nights brought two men together and fired up a relation that struggles them for the rest of their lives. One reason I think the story is outstanding because the author captures the emotions of the two main characters thoroughly. Certainly I did not get much of this when I read the story. I just heard some people said the romance between the two men is very touching. The other one is the author touches a topic that most people try to avoid. That’s a very brave thing to do. Ms. Proulx accomplished it well.
