 “There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it” will probably never leave my mind.

Short but well rounded. Sad, complex, intriguing, hard.

Annie Proulx is going to hell for writing this. Not because it's gay, but because it absolutely ruined my life.

I haven’t seen the movie but decided to read this book this year and am so glad I did. Two rural, low-income queer men find connection and love in one another, and are drawn to each other over the years but because of society cannot be together. Brokeback Mountain is a series of short and poignant snapshots throughout their lives with many things unsaid between them and in the narrative, but in a way that works, both from a storytelling perspective and to mirror their own relationship. At times it has beautiful moments of prose and at times is raw and gritty. In only 55 pages Proulx tells a lifelong story of compelling, heartbreaking love. It’s emotive and incredibly sad and definitely worth the read.
