Close Range: Brokeback Mountain and other stories - это сборник рассказов, написанных лауреатом Пулитцеровской премии Энни Прокулл, который вдохновлен суровым и непрощающим ландшафтом штата Вайоминг. В книгу входят такие известные рассказы, как "Brokeback Mountain" (получивший Национальную премию за лучший рассказ) и "The Mud Below". Рассказ "Brokeback Mountain" происходит в дикой и красивой местности Вайоминга, где ковбои живут так, как делали это уже несколько поколений. Они ведут тяжелую и одинокую жизнь в непрощающей местности. Двое рабочих на ранчо, Джек Твист и Эннис Дел Мар, "отбросы сельской местности без перспектив, вынужденные к тяжелой работе и лишениям, оба грубые и говорят на жестком наречии", рады нашли друг друга в такой неприветливой среде. Но их компаньонство на Брокбек-Маунтин становится чем-то большим, чем просто дружба, и это что-то неожиданное и смертельно опасное.

Описание книги от Энни Пру
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of ‘The Shipping News’ comes a collection of short stories inspired by the harsh and unforgiving landscape of Wyoming. Includes the acclaimed stories, Brokeback Mountain (winner of a National Magazine Award) and The Mud Below.Brokeback Mountain is set in the beautiful, wild landscape of Wyoming where cowboys live as they have done for generations. Hard, lonely lives in unforgiving country. Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar are two ranch hands – ‘drop-out country boys with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, both rough-mannered, tough spoken’ – glad to have found each other’s company where none had been expected. But companionship becomes something else on Brokeback Mountain, something not looked for, something deadly.
