Swill-Swallow Mountain
BayCityJohn:
The Berg Collection was established for the use of scholars and researchers. Conservation concerns, as well as other demands on staff time, require that we limit the use of our materials to this group.
We do, however, attempt to satisfy the general public's interest in our holdings through interpretive exhibitions and group presentations. If your group (minimum 8 persons, maximum 20) would like to schedule a presentation with the Curator, please contact him

Does this mean a single person can not get access to specific scripts (or copies of it), but a goup of eight to twenty people can? :o
Wouldn't be hard to get a goup of eight together in NYC, but maybe could be hard to limit the group to twenty.
Did I get this right? That on principal, all that stuff (from Mark Twain to Annie Proulx) is accessable to the public? But due to technicalities, single persons can't get access, only small groups?
Penthesilea:
Swill-Swallow Mountain? ::) I'm sure glad that she changed that.
Whiskey Mountain? Ditto. Not overly creative. I could have come up with it.
Bulldust Mountain? Not bad, IMO.
Interesting that the "Mountain" part has been a given from early on. I mean, even when the mountain plays a prominent role in the story, she still could have named the story something completely different.

I think you're right.
I'm thinking we need to organize a group presentation at the NYPL. Maybe more than one group too.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing about these early title possibilities. Swill-Swallow Mountain is pretty awfull (IMO), and I agree that Bulldust Moutain would be the best of the three alternatives. I'm very, very glad she settled on the Brokeback title! To me it's such a great word for the title.
