书籍介绍
Annie Proulx has written some of the most original and brilliant short stories in contemporary literature， and for many readers and reviewers， "Brokeback Mountain" is her masterpiece.Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist， two ranch hands， come together when they re working as sheepherder and camp tender one summer on a range above the tree line. At first， sharing an isolated tent， the attraction is casual， inevitable， but something deeper catches them that summer.Both men work hard， marry， and have kids because that s what cowboys do. But over the course of many years and frequent separations this relationship becomes the most important thing in their lives， and they do anything they can to preserve it.The New Yorker won the National Magazine Award for Fiction for its publication of "Brokeback Mountain，" and the story was included in Prize Stories 1998: The O. Henry Awards. In gorgeous and haunting prose， Proulx limns the difficult， dangerous affair between two cowboys that survives everything but the world s violent intolerance.

精彩摘录
- "Nothing ended, nothing begun, nothing resolved. I wish I knew how to quit you. Later, that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single moment of artless, charmed happiness in their separate and difficult lives. Nothing marred it, even the knowledge that Ennis would not then embrace him face "
- "During the day Ennis looked across a great gulf and sometimes saw Jack, a small dot moving across a high meadow as an insect moves across a tablecloth; Jack, in his dark camp, saw Ennis as night fire, a red spark on the huge black mass of mountain."
- "And it did go. They never talked about sex, let it happen, at first only in the tent at night, then in the full daylight with the hot sun striking down, and at evening in the fire glow, quick, rough, laughing and snorting, no lck of noises, but saying not a goddamn word except once Ennis said, "I'm "
- "The day was hot and clear in the morining, but by noon the cluods had pushed up out of the west rolling a little sultry air before them. Ennis, wearing his best shirt, white with wide black stripes, didn't know what time Jack would get there and so had taken the day off, paced back and forth, lookin"
- ""That summer," said Ennis. "When we split up after we got paid out I had gut cramps so bad I pulled over and tried to puke, thought I ate somethin bad at that place in Dubois. Took me about a year to figure out it was that I shouldn't a let you out a my sights. Too late then by a long, long while.""
- "Like vast clouds of steam from thermal springs in winter the years of things unsaid and now unsayable - admissions, declarations, shames, guilts, fears - rose around them. Ennis stood as if heart-shot, face grey and deep-lined, grimacing, eyes screwed shut, fists clenched, legs caving, hit the groun"
- "What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger. They had stood that way for a long time in front of the fi"
- "The shirt seemed heavy until he saw there was another shirt inside it, the sleeves carefully worked down inside Jack's sleeves. It was his own plaid shirt, lost, he'd thought, long ago in some damn laundry, his dirty shirt, the pocket ripped, buttons missing, stolen by Jack and hidden here inside Ja"
用户评论
I wish i knew how to quit you.
酣畅淋漓。画面感很强，是因为有很好的改编电影也因为堆叠在句子里的形容词一点都不突兀多余完全恰到好处。读到时隔数(4)年久别重逢的吻突然就燃了。虽然Ennis和Jack是在相当差的环境里，谈不那么细腻的恋爱，但那些文字就是让人甚感意外得那么动人。佩服Annie的描写，两人完全不同的成长背景说话方式全部从不多的对话里就体现出来好厉害啊_(:з」∠)_还有那么多个两个人一起走到的山山水水இдஇ其实原文两个人的关系感觉比电影稍微更要平衡一些，不过电影能把细节和时间轴捋得这么顺真是让人一本满足。
Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist....看完原著又默默感动了一遍...I wish I knew how to quit you, you son of bitch.
If you can’t fix it, u gotta stand it.
真轻啊。太轻了。一共三十一页的小说，比九十分钟的电影还浓烈。
Annie的用词真的简练又精准，读起来相当有画面感（比如形容两人在山里见到熊离去，比如河流里的石头周围像戴围巾一样围了一圈泡沫…）。
电影非常完美的再现了小说的每一幕，而重读小说又在字里行间发现了更多在电影里容易忽略的细节。
Annie的写作手法真是了不得。p43-44描写了Jack印象里最美好的一幕：Ennis把可能是这辈子唯一一次温柔留给了他——dozy embrace, phrases from the childhood time；紧接着下一段就描写了Jack之死，不知是有意或无意，DECEASED一词恰好孤零零出现在45页开头，振聋发聩。这不禁突然让我意识到，两段叙述这样的安排，是不是其实前一幕就是Jack在临死前最后想到的画面？
痛啊，实在是太痛了
20230214 李安的电影真的是高度还原原著！
One thing never changed: the brilliant charge of their infrequent couplings was darkened by the sense of time flying, never enough time, never enough.
一口气读完
机场读完。那些性爱，环境描写，是我读到最美的英文之一。“They were respectful of each other’s opinions，each glad to have a companion where none had been expected.” 谁不想要一段这样的感情呢。
