An American Western made by a Taiwanese director and filmed in Canada, Brokeback Mountain was a global cultural phenomenon even before it became the highest grossing gaythemed drama in film history. Few films have inspired as much passion and debate, or produced as many contradictory responses, from online homage to latenight parody. In this wideranging and incisive collection, writers, journalists, scholars, and ordinary viewers explore the film and Annie Proulxs original story as well as their ongoing cultural and political significance. The contributors situate Brokeback Mountain in relation to gay civil rights, the cinematic and literary Western, the Chinese value of forbearance, male melodrama, and urban and rural working lives across generations and genders.The Brokeback Book builds on earlier debates by novelist David Leavitt, critic Daniel Mendelsohn, producer James Schamus, and film reviewer Kenneth Turan with new and noteworthy interpretations of the Brokeback phenomenon, the film, and its legacy. Also appearing in print for the first time is Michael Silverblatts interview with Annie Proulx about the story she wrote and the film it became.
