Womack ,'The Message'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I wasn't touting it as a rare new breed of storytelling never before seen in nature -- I've, you know, read books and seen it before. I'm just trying to avoid it if it's her characteristic. Hell, that's why I don't read as much Holmes as I might otherwise--that and the arcane twisted knowledge required to solve the crimes.
Honestly, I don't mind a character saying "I know how it's done." and it not being shared. It's references to conversations with actual information in them that's not shared.
For Good Omens fans. Gaiman and Pratchett came up with New Year's resolutions for Crowley and Aziraphale: [link]
I'm trying to track down the short story that "Brokeback Mountain" was based on. Any clue where it was published, what collection it might be in, or even if it was ever published online?
Anne, it was originally published in the New Yorker, and I thought I saw a link to the story on their website somewhere in my interbunny travels. Let me check the usual suspects.
Here's a cached version from Google: [link]
Thanks, Sue! If I can track this down, it will absolutely make my mom's Christmas. She's a huge Annie Proulx fan, and hasn't been able to find the story anywhere.
ETA: THANK YOU!!!!
Mom's getting gay cowboys for Christmas! Whee!
Blows smoke off fingers.
Hey, I got none of that messy cache stuff. So I take a couple extra seconds to make it pretty.
::sniff::
Plus, in the bookstores lately there've been little tiny movie-cover versions of the story, with just that story (which is short, so seems silly to make a whole book out of it, but I'm sure someone's making mad money off it)
