“Brokeback Mountain” In Bookstores

The short story that inspired the Oscar-winning film directed by Ang Lee and starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal is now available in English at Librería Internacional stores.

Written by Pulitzer Prize winning U.S. journalist and author Annie Proulx, the beautifully written story clips along astonishingly fast in comparison to the film, but is equally if not more moving and thought-provoking.

The book retails for ¢4,900 ($9.80).
