The short story
CarlaMom2:
Hi y'all,
I am looking to get the original short story. Can I just go to Barnes and Nobel? What am I looking for when I get it? I know they have the movie version of the book, but that's not what I want? I am gonna try to go later on today so if anyone can let me know what I am looking for.....
Thanks, Carla

Hi Carla, welcome to BetterMost! 8)
I have a small paperback published by Scribner that sells for $9.95 that is the story only. The cover has the movie poster of Heath and Jake.
Additionally, you can look for the collection of stories by Annie Proulx titled Close Range: Wyoming Stories, also published by Scribner and selling for $14.00. Brokeback Mountain is the last story in the collection.
Enjoy, and be sure to come back and post your thoughts. There are plenty of threads here for that! :)

Hi Carla!
Welcome to BetterMost!
You have a few choices for purchasing the story Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx. One is a paperback with just the story. There is a Story to Screenplay that includes a later version of the movie screenplay and some interviews. Also, it is in the collection of short stories called Close Range. There is also a hardcover published by Scriber, which I didn't find on the B&N site and may be harder to find. If you want that one, I would check other Internet retailers. I found mine in Atlanta at a GLBT bookstore called 'Outwrite.' :)
Enjoy!

Welcome Carla...I also have the hardback published by Scribner which I bought from my Book-of-the Month Club, $11.95. But I have seen it in my local discount book store, so if you have one of those (if you live in a small town it might not be easy to find), try there first, otherwise, try Borders, or perhaps e-Bay. With these suggestions, I'm sure you will find it. Good luck...Doug
