Sep. 4th, 2005 09:55 pmHas anyone read Annie Prolux's Brokeback Mountain? If so, please spoil me about the ending! I want to know what happens in the 'heartwrenching tale', because if it really is totally sad and meep, I want to know like way before I go and see it (whenever the movie comes here next year or something)!

Why can't there just be stories about stuff and not like The Gay Movie? How about an action movie where the guy just happens to be gay?

Date: 2005-09-04 01:06 pm (UTC)I've read it, and yes, it's pretty sad, but the characters also have a couple of decades long relationship before the other one dies, so it's not completely devastating. Do you want to be spoiled more than this?
You can read it here or I can send it to you as a Word file, if you'd like to read it. Despite the sadness (and one pretty unrealistic sex scene) I thought it was a very good read. I read it to Teh Bunny too and he got a bit weepy, but you know we're just pathetic little crybabies the both of us, so that doesn't mean that the story is All Angst with a big A.

Date: 2005-09-04 01:38 pm (UTC)I had to go and buy the book, 'cause it was like so cheap and I want to read it as a real book and not as a 'fic'. :D But thanks for the offer, dear!
And I can deal with a sad story if the guys have had some kind of happiness and it's not one of those eeek they're gay they must all fucking die! -things.
