    a beautiful story

    I first read Proulx's story Brokeback Mountain several years ago and thought it was a beautiful, moving love story. It doesn't begin as a story about gay cowboys, but, rather, the characters discover their love with each other. That's part of the beauty of the story. I'm sad that this essential plot twist is no longer to-be-discovered for folks who haven't read it.
