So far, it is second to the A Home at the End of the World by Michael Cunningham ( 5 stars ) as one of best “pink ” novels I have ever read. The story may bespeak that the homosexuality is incorruptible and incorrigible in rustic places no matter how rough culture is. ^^Īnnie Proulx limns not only the highlighting love story between Ennis and Jack but also the typical rural life of cowboys in a countryside in Wyoming as well as the culturally bigoted meme of homosexuality in the said place. Proulx spiced it up! However, the content of the book is not as detailed as in the movie. In fact, the love scenes are more febrile in my imagination although I had expected something flamer.
In other case, since I have been aware of its homosexual immortality among the international confederation as well as seen it several times, I still found it the same. Then, at the end, I would have thrown it into the air and sworn blue murder, for the must-have-been happy ending will end up as a tragedy. Prior to the movie, I would have immersed myself in the pure, vivid prose of Annie Proulx, not having the slightest idea of the fact that the two rough-mannered cowboys living in a not-open-gay countryside will have sexual and intimate relationship. What would be the differences had I not seen its movie adaptation yet rather, I had read its book first, or vice versa? “There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can’t fix it you’ve got to stand it.”
