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. At first， sharing an isolated tent， the attraction is casual， inevitable， but something deeper catches them that summer.Both men work hard， marry， and have kids because that s what cowboys do. But over the course of many years and frequent separations this relationship becomes the most important thing in their lives， and they do anything they can to preserve it.The New Yorker won the National Magazine Award for Fiction for its publication of "Brokeback Mountain，" and the story was included in Prize Stories 1998: The O. Henry Awards. In gorgeous and haunting prose， Proulx limns the difficult， dangerous affair between two cowboys that survives everything but the world s violent intolerance.
Nothing ended, nothing begun, nothing resolved.
I wish I knew how to quit you.
Later, that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single moment of artless, charmed happiness in their separate and difficult lives. Nothing marred it, even the knowledge that Ennis would not then embrace him face to face because he did not want to see nor feel that it was Jack he held.
And maybe, he thought, they d never got much farther than that.
Let be, let be. (查看原文)
During the day Ennis looked across a great gulf and sometimes saw Jack, a small dot moving across a high meadow as an insect moves across a tablecloth; Jack, in his dark camp, saw Ennis as night fire, a red spark on the huge black mass of mountain. (查看原文)
圣诞夜之前一晚，走进书店，人多，从人缝里就看见这本，Brokeback Mountain, 说不上书，就是一本薄薄的册子。 我以前不太喜欢Annie Proulx，上英语课的时候讨论 the ace in the whole，一个年轻人到荒僻保守的小镇上为公司作开养猪场的可行性调查，不感冒，讨论题目居然是说...

酣畅淋漓。画面感很强，是因为有很好的改编电影也因为堆叠在句子里的形容词一点都不突兀多余完全恰到好处。读到时隔数(4)年久别重逢的吻突然就燃了。虽然Ennis和Jack是在相当差的环境里，谈不那么细腻的恋爱，但那些文字就是让人甚感意外得那么动人。佩服Annie的描写，两人完全不同的成长背景说话方式全部从不多的对话里就体现出来好厉害啊_(:з」∠)_还有那么多个两个人一起走到的山山水水இдஇ其实原文两... 酣畅淋漓。画面感很强，是因为有很好的改编电影也因为堆叠在句子里的形容词一点都不突兀多余完全恰到好处。读到时隔数(4)年久别重逢的吻突然就燃了。虽然Ennis和Jack是在相当差的环境里，谈不那么细腻的恋爱，但那些文字就是让人甚感意外得那么动人。佩服Annie的描写，两人完全不同的成长背景说话方式全部从不多的对话里就体现出来好厉害啊_(:з」∠)_还有那么多个两个人一起走到的山山水水இдஇ其实原文两个人的关系感觉比电影稍微更要平衡一些，不过电影能把细节和时间轴捋得这么顺真是让人一本满足。 (展开)

这本因为电影而扬名四海的原著小说只是个中篇小说而已。故事情节大家应该都知道了，小说很短，词汇很难。听了两遍只听了个大概。趣味性4分，难度5分。#2016累计听书时间 83小时52分。度盘 1eREWTNG 9xf9

明明还有比 I wish I knew how to quit you 更令人动容的句子嘛。

One thing never changed: the brilliant charge of their infrequent coupling was darkened by the sense of time flying, never enough time,never enough.

Annie的用词真的简练又精准，读起来相当有画面感（比如形容两人在山里见到熊离去，比如河流里的石头周围像戴围巾一样围了一圈泡沫…）。 电影非常完美的再现了小说的每一幕，而重读小说又在字里行间发现了更多在电影里容易忽略的细节。 Annie的写作手法真是了不得。p43-44描写了Jack印象里最美好的一幕：Ennis把可能是这辈子唯一一次温柔留给了他——dozy embrace, phrases fr...
