These Wyoming stories are set in a hard, lonely country where cowboys still live much as their families did for generations. A slight young man ignores his mother's scorn to chase rodeo fame, and his obsession pulls him away from his family. A man in his eighties sets off west to bury his brother, returning to the family spread he abandoned decades before. Two ranch hands, Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, find on Brokeback Mountain an intimacy neither expected and neither can forget. Other tales mix folk legend and black humour, among them a grim story of gambling, bad weather and amputation from a century ago, and they set the West's old ways against newer ones.
