Oregondoggie, I agree there is a lot of excellent information and interpretation on this board and I am sure others. For me though, there is nothing like curling up with a book. My computer, though a lap top, stays at the desk.Kd, thanks for the additional information. I'm really considering the book at this point.
From the book.================================THIS COLLECTION OFFERS 15 CRITICAL ESSAYS (by 15 different writers) ON ANNIE PROULX'S short story BBM and it's controversial film adaption by screenwriters....Each essay explores the short story, the film and the sociocultural phenomenon that follwed the release of the motion picture in 2005The essays adopt both traditional perspectives and postmodern angles, including those of women's studies, queer studies, sexuality studies, ethnic studies and American studies. Many of the essays focus primarily on the film, it's critical reception, it's stars, it's soundtrack and it's cultural implications.
Between the publication of Brokeback Mountain in the New Yorker and it's appearance in the collection of Close Ranges, Proulx added an italicized prologue taking place in the mind of Ennis, suggesting he has found some solace in his dreams of Jack Twist and in his relationship to his married daughter.
FRONTRANGER, I'm not the best typist so those were my mistakes. The author's name (he's actually the editor) is JIM STACEY.I don't know if this is a Library of Congress number: ISBN-13: 978-0-7864-3044-4
Thought I might shamelessly plug my own book here.... my quarterly royalties check of $1.00 arrived the other day...http://www.amazon.com/Dreamfilm-Brokeback-Mountain-Daniel-Bates/dp/1425750001
