Book Reviews of Close Range : Wyoming Stories
Book Review: "Brokeback Mountain" is the only story worth your time
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this after seeing the magnificent film, "Brokeback Mountain". As a longtime reader of western fiction and non-fiction, I was disappointed with the other stories in "Close Range". How many times can a writer put down the stories of ignorant and/or down-and-out folk in short-story format without becoming repetitive? Proulx does it 10 times in this book, but finishes with the intense and heartbreaking "Brokeback Mountain". The reader cares about Ennis and Jack-- a feeling for characters not experienced in the first 250 pages of this story collection. Worth $14? You decide.
