On Brokeback Mountain: Meditations About Masculinity, Fear, and
Love in the Story and the Film provides a close, detailed,
comparative discussion of the short story and the film in relation
to ways of understanding masculinity and love between men in
American culture. It uses analytical ideas from gay and
lesbian/queer studies, American studies, social history, film
history, and literary history, but avoids specialized theoretical
language in order to be accessible to the many people interested in
the story and the film. Original, interdisciplinary, and engaging,
On Brokeback Mountain is intended to be not only useful to academic
specialists but also accessible and readable for any interested,
educated reader. The two versions of Brokeback Mountain are
significant for taking readers and audiences inside the
perspectives of men who love men, showing what physical and
emotional passion, and hostility toward that passion, may be like
for them. The story and the film help in understanding the many men
who love men and who don't fit stereotypes of gay men or
participate in the gay/queer worlds of urban/academic communities,
especially men in rural areas and in working class contexts. This
book examines the presentation of friendship, sex, and love between
men in Brokeback Mountain, as well as the depiction of homophobia
and its effects on men who love men and their families. It relates
the story and the film to the literary tradition of the homoerotic
pastoral, the literary/movie tradition of the Western, and the
tradition of the tragic romantic love story.
