Brokeback Mountain: From the Source

Have you wondered about the origins of the movie Brokeback Mountain? The movie, as many know by now, is based on a short story by Annie Proulx. The obvious question is, How does Proulx's story differ from the movie?

But the January 19 podcast of KCRW's Bookworm, in which the show's host, Michael Silverblatt, talks with Proulx about her writing and the movie, is anything but obvious.

The 29-minute podcast probes the emotional impact of the story and the movie. But it also ranges as far as the difference between accents in Texas and Montana.
