This book collects the essence of Anne Prue's eleven short stories, many of which have won individual awards. "Brokeback Mountain" not only won the 1998 O. Henry Short Story Award and the National Magazine Award, but was also adapted onto the screen by director Ang Lee, winning multiple international film awards. All stories are set in Wyoming. The author uses sharp writing skills to dissect the passion and desire for life behind the cowboys' rough and wild lifestyle, and uses poetic language to extract beauty and hope from the cruelty and roughness.
