Bozeman library hosting controversial play about “Brokeback Mountain”

Author Annie Proulx had received a flood of letters after her short story “Brokeback Mountain” was published.

The story, which comes at the end of a 1999 mainstream compilation of short stories about Wyoming, is about the love shared between two male cowboys.

“I remember reading through it and going, ‘What!’” Out West creator and producer Gregory Hinton said. “It shocked everyone.”

Hinton had contacted Proulx about allowing him to piece the letters together, believing them to be a fairly comprehensive oral history of the rural gay west.

“She said ‘No, but it’s a nice idea,’” Hinton said Friday. “Then the book fell into my lap.”

That book, “Beyond Brokeback: Impact of a Film” was taken from over 500,000 posts by members of the Ultimate Brokeback Forum website.
