arry McMurtry, in his essay "Adapting Brokeback Mountain," wrote:
"The story of the long-frustrated love of Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist slots into the strong, long American tradition of doomed young men:
The Great Gatsby,
The Sun Also Rises,
Miss Lonelyhearts and many others. Except when together, Ennis and Jack are very lonely young men. Though short in compass -- only eleven pages in the New Yorker version -- it echoes as powerfully as a high plains thunderclap."
