Description
From the bestselling author of The Shipping News and Accordion Crimes comes one of the most celebrated short-story collections of our time. Annie Proulx's masterful language and fierce love of Wyoming are evident in these unabridged, breathtaking tales of loneliness, quick violence, and the wrong kinds of love. Each of the stunning portraits in Close Range -- including the original story "Brokeback Mountain", the basis for the Academy Award-winning script -- reveals characters fiercely wrought with precision and grace.

Okay, The Brokeback film is one of the greatest pieces of LGBT cinema but this short story had some of the worst writing I’ve ever seen
November 3rd 2025
Not a huge fan of this book to be perfectly honest. It felt rushed and too short. There were some parts that gave so much feeling and emotion and I wish she would turn this into a novel with more character development.
