This is a beautifully written short story about two cowboys in Wyoming. If you watched the film, it stuck very closely to the original short story. Quotes from the film are taken directly from the book. Definitely a great quick read if you loved the film.

I heard this was sad, but it was really sad. I was in high school when the movie came out, and I never saw it. I really wish people had not made fun of this deeply human story the way they did.
