Lynne:
I ran across this random review of a San Francisco restaurant in my queries of all things Brokeback on the net...It seems that not only 'Brokeback,' but also 'Annie Proulx' are now integrated into our language and cultural understanding:

'The front resembles a faded, old-fashioned toy horse -- the kind that would have hung out in the playroom with the Velveteen Rabbit. But its hindquarters morph into the unmistakable green curlicue of a mermaid's tail, propelling it into the category of mythology, or a strange artifact around which Annie Proulx might write a short story."

Writers Institute announces 2023 fall season

Katherine Kiessling - Aug. 3, 2023


Contemporary topics ranging from artificial intelligence to state politics take center stage in the New York State Writers Institute newly announced fall season featuring more than 30 events.

Among the season highlights is the sixth annual Albany Book Festival on Sept. 23 at the University at Albany Campus Center. The event will feature Annie Proulx, whose short story Brokeback Mountain was adapted for the screen in 2005, and Jeff Shaara, author of Gods and Generals and The Old Lion, alongside 25 additional authors; readings; book signings and meet-and-greet opportunities; discussion panels; and virtual workshops for aspiring authors.

Johnstown native Richard Russo will kick off the fall season Aug. 29 with a reading and discussion of his newest novel Somebody's Fool. The book concludes the author's North Bath trilogy, which highlights blue collar life in upstate New York. Several of Russo's works have been adapted for film and television, including Nobody's Fool, Empire Falls and Straight Man.
