Just wanted to let you know Lynne, that yesterday I ordered "The Shipping News" and "Postcards" from my local book store......

Good deal, Katie! If I were you, I'd start with 'The Shipping News.' I think it's a little more accessible than Postcards, imo. Let me know what you think. I haven't read it in years, and would like to re-read it since Brokeback to see what new things I can see.

Additonal strategy: There is a hornets' nest of Brokeback Supporters still buzzin' around the Dave Cullen site. Let them know about this Nobel Prize idea. I suspect there are plenty of academics over there too. Let's mix our flocks on this one.
Brokeback Mountain is among the greatest and most important pieces of literature ever written. It is the tire iron against fear and bigotry. We should swing it and swing it.
