Wow, what a difference being true to yourself makes. It's the difference between the stuff of good fiction and a stable, fulfilling and largely uninteresting existence.
Proulx' short story upon which the movie Brokeback Mountain was based is fantastic. Such finely tuned prose. There were some noticeable changes from short story to film, but they were insignificant. They really filled some characters in a few places which made for a little levity in the movie. Lee also expanded exposition of Alma's agony.
