Currently writing a paper on the film Brokeback Mountain and its relation to the western genre. My teacher recommended I read the short story and screenplay, which was a good call. I'm glad to have found this book at the local library, since it has both the story, screenplay, and even three essays (one each from the story's author, and the screenwriters).

I think the film is overall more effective than the short story, but it's a fine little piece of fiction, I guess. The screenplay (partially written by the screenwriter of Lonesome Dove) is great though.
