"Brokeback Mountain," originally published in 'The New Yorker,' is one of eleven fine stories by Annie Proulx in "Close Range, Wyoming Stories," 1999, Scribners, with watercolor illustrations by William Matthews. A beautiful book by the author who won the Pulitzer Prize for "The Shipping News." Several of the stories would make fine films.
"Heart Songs and Other Stories" is another book by her with stories about country life.
