Annie Proulx has written some of the most original and brilliant short stories in contemporary literature， and for many readers and reviewers， "Brokeback Mountain" is her masterpiece.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.

其实咱看的是翻译版本呢……笔触粗粝，却把他们之间的柔情写到入木三分，比电影感觉要好
