Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx
May. 1st, 2006 09:02 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar live hard and lonely lives as ranch hands in the wild, unforgiving landscape of Wyoming. They are "country boys with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, both rough-mannered and tough-spoken", glad to have found one another's company where none had been expected.
But suddenly companionship becomes something else on Brokeback Mountain: something not looked for, something deadly ...
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
It's well written but emotionally frigid. I felt nothing for the characters and nothing for their plight. There's an interesting story in there, but I don't feel as though it's been told to me.
