... none came close to the woman who can write passages like:

One summer evening, their bed spread among the floor among the chips and splinters, they fell to kissing. Rose, in some kind of transport, began to bite her kisses....

"Oh Archie, I didnt mean to hurt,..."
"You did not...It's I aint never been. Loved...feel like I been shot," pulling her into his arms, rolling half over so that the salty tears and saliva wet her embroidered waist shirt, calling her his little birdeen, and at that moment she would have walked into a furnace for him.


Judge, I agree with you a hunerd percent...well, about 98 percent, and thank you for quoting that recent story Those Old Cowboy Songs from AP's most recent book, which I'll bet less than 5% of Brokies have read.

Where I differ from you is when you said that AP has moved on. In a way, maybe she has, but I suspect Jack and Ennis haunt her still. Also, keep in mind that she has recently written the libretto for the opera Brokeback Mountain which will debut in 2013. In it, there is new information, including a scene where Ennis TALKS to the SHIRTS. I can't wait!

What I sense here is the snit that comes from rejection, Annie Proulx rejected me so Im rejecting her back.

Thanks, Judge. That's essentially what I felt, but I wasn't quite able to put my finger on it or put it into words.

She would probably roll her eyes, and shake her head, and tell us to move on and get a life.

She has, and cannot understand why some of us haven't.
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

I tried to find a YouTube of that, but the best I could find was this adulterated version of it.

On the other hand, that led me to this.

Hahaha Tell the old Hagg to get over it. Anytime you write a story and it goes public in some way its no longer yours, People interpret story's in there own minds and beings. She sounds a bit off her rocker if you ask me. She wrote it she got paid for it and thats it Darling, now its up to the world to interpret it.  What a nut case.
