This book just came through my library's mail room this morning. It was my first encounter with a physical copy, and my first chance to glance through the contents. I am relieved to report that neither Ehrenstein nor Paglia (admittedly excellent critics and writers) make appearances here.
Front-Ranger:
Interesting, Scott! Tell us more! Thanks for being our advance guard.

Yesterday, I ordered a slighty used Beyond Brokeback: The Impact of a Film by Members of the Ultimate Brokeback Forum .
It was only USD 10.50 plus shipping.
I will eagerly await Scott's comments about Reading Brokeback Mountain: Essays on the Story and the Film by Jim Stacy
before I fork over USD 25.00 plus shipping.
Mr. Stacey teaches at a college about a three hour drive from where I reside. Would be interesting to pay him a visit. ;)
So keep us advised Scott.

Hey Bud, that would be really neat if you got to meet Stacey. I wonder if he knows about BetterMost.
Ya know, we should write a book too. If we edited some of the better threads and posts from Open Forum and put them all together, I'm sure we could come up with our own, very respectable book of essays about Brokeback.
:D

This is interesting. There were also two other professors, William Handley from USC and Jesse Matz from Kenyon who were going to do a Brokeback book with essays from various contributors. I wonder whatever happened to that project?
