Brokeback Mountain short story in Oct 13, 1997 "New Yorker" - Images

I found “Brokeback Mountain” short story in my "The Complete New Yorker" DVDs.  Thought you may want to look at the images of the short story in the original publication. (Click to enlarge)

Thank you JennyC for sharing that with us.  I wish I had known about it 9 years ago!

Cool! Thanks for sharing these great scans. We have a copy of that issue of The New Yorker in the library at which I work, and I managed to read the publication of the story there a few days after first seeing the movie.

I have an (excellent!) copy of a copy of that New Yorker. besides the first two italcized paragraphs, the only difference I could find was---when she's listing the things they discussed on the "paw the white out of the moon" night, in the New Yorker, it says "military service," which she later changed to "draft."

The New Yorker gives no clue as to what the story will be about ("Cowboys and horses and long lonely nights in the wilderness") guess you can see that from jenny's page one. neat cartoon of Annie P, and I LOVE that illustration from another story, which I also have in my copy.

Yes, cool!! Thank you very much for sharing! Amazing that it took so many years before it got made into a film. But we all know why. And besides, better now than around that time.. For some reason, I think I wouldn't have been 'ready' for so much beauty back then.

Wow, I missed this til now.  Let's sticky it for its anniversary.  Cruising through, I notice there are some changes in the names of Ennis's places of employment.  Thank you, Jenny for thinking of looking for this, and posting it for us.  Clarissa

The New Yorker Magazine

Just a note to remind everyone that it was on October 13, 1997
NINE YEARS AGO
that Annie Proulx saw the publication of
Brokeback Mountain
in this edition of The New Yorker Magazine.

since then it has appeared in their magazine as
a movie review,
a spoken word recording by Suzy Amis
and grist for their cartoons

What if I dont want to be Jack or Ennis.


Thank You Annie and The  New Yorker
for getting Brokeback off to a start.

I was about to post this and I got the scans of the actual pages
Thanks
Toast

Its such a amazing tale that i can not articulate. I really don't fathom how Annie Proulx came up with Brokeback Mountain, what made her think of the imagery or the symbols, or the ambiguties, or anything? Its so complex in some ways, but in simple in others. I'm losing my Brokeback grip

but theres still a part of me that is very attached to the story

Is it my imagination, or does the New Yorker have some sort of strategy to mention Brokeback in every issue? This week it was in a story about research on gay sheep.
