The New York Times Book Review described Annie Proulx's characters -- especially Ennis & Jack of BBM -- as the following:  "Their lives are futile, uphill struggles conducted as a downhill, out-of-control tearaway".

BTW, this description is so fitting that they included the exact quote in the book's opening praise of author Proulx in the BBM story.

"P" is paucity

When taken altogether, the boys’ total time spent in each other's company showed a definite paucity.

Def: noun; Fewness; smallness of number; scarcity.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

Jack and the Bean Stock.
Once upon a time there was a boy called Jack, and he had a problem with his stock of beans.  They just kept on coming more after more.  So he sent his buddy Ennis way down the mountain to sing about powdered milk and spuds, and to see if the beans could be magically changed into soup.  But, because of the sad singing about a dead cowboy on the way back, a bear come on Ennis and the soup cans were planted on the trail.   Now if you go back to Brokeback Mountain, there you will see the whiskey stream and soup can trees.
