Our Take
Two cowboys spend a summer herding sheep on a Wyoming mountain and fall in love with a ferocity neither can accommodate in their actual lives. Proulx writes the rest of those lives in cold, precise strokes. Ennis and Jack do not fail each other through weakness. They fail each other through the world.
