The star of this collection is "Brokeback Mountain," and my review and rating are specific to that story.
Ennis and Jack hire on as sheep tenders for the summer, and come to love one another. But they each go their own way, marrying and having children. Still, they "just can't quit you," and meet once or twice a year for "fishing" expeditions. The story covers 20 years of their relationship in spare language - so much is said by what is NOT said. A powerful story that haunts the reader long after it is finished. (The movie, with a screenplay by Larry McMurtry, is nothing short of wonderful.)
