This is a beautifully written short story about two cowboys in Wyoming. If you watched the film, it stuck very closely to the original short story. Quotes from the film are taken directly from the book. Definitely a great quick read if you loved the film.

I really enjoyed the writing style itself, perfectly matching the tone and setting of this story. At only about 55 pages, this is a brisk read and yet it manages to instill an ache in you that refuses to leave even hours after finishing.

A caring and tragic tale of two people who love each other, but can't quite manage to truly be together. Proulx's story is well-written, perfectly paced, and so carefully done. I'm always impressed when a short story manages to convey such emotion and complexity within so little time. This was a fantastic audio listen over a long walk one sunset night, and I'm so glad I experienced the famous film in the original text.
