The author of Brokeback Mountain, which was turned into an Oscar-winning film starring the late Heath Ledger, has complained that the tale is now a “source of constant irritation” in her life.
Annie Proulx, 73, has been pestered with “pornish” letters sent by fans of the book about two cowboys and their illicit homosexual passions in America’s conservative Midwest.
When the story was published in 1999, it was praised for its delicate handling of homophobia. However, some critics felt Miss Proulx could have gone further in describing the love shared between the two main characters.
She told The Wall Street Journal: “There are countless people out there who think the story is open range to explore their fantasies and to correct what they see as an unbearably disappointing story.

Man, I guess when gay isn’t gay enough, you get a slap-fight.
LOL!
The book and movie are a constant source of irritation to many people.
I’d say she deserves something other than money for foisting this book and movie on our consciousness.
She opened the door and let the scum slither in... and now she complains about it?
Poetic justice indeed.
Imagine the “irritation” felt by cowboys out working with livestock when they look over by the corral and there’s some DemocRAT girlyman leaning against the corral and making goo goo eyes at them.
Big surprise?
Who would watch that garbage but the rumored bare-back scenes probably don’t help.
“Brokeback Mountain...a source of constant irritation”...
For authors who didn’t think ahead:
Preparation H.
Serves her right.
The author of Brokeback Mountain, which was turned into an Oscar-winning film starring the late Heath Ledger,I didn't know that. That explains a lot.
has complained that theEEEEWWWWW!taletail is now a “source of constant irritation” in her life.
Source of constant irritation? They have medication for that.
You reap what you sow!
The new chant: Wanna hear about what we do in the bedroom?? Wanna? Wanna? Huh?
I really thought it was delicate when Heath Ledger spit in his hand... oh, real delicate and loving too.
LOL
Good! I hope this stays as a constant source of irritation until she goes to her grave. She wrote it—she can deal with the consequences.
What did this woman expect?
She enters into one of the darkest areas of human relationships and expects to get something akin to notes from the Christians in our society.
I really don’t like spending my life responding to homosexual issues, but they are forced on us all too often, no make that way too often.
Frankly, I think she got precisely what she deserved. Deal with it lady. We’re having to more and more. Believe me, we’re just as sick of it.
If I never read another article addressing the activism of homosexuals, I will be a very happy man.
Another hideous liberal.
Where is her screechy "op-ed" blaming all the troubles in her life on Sarah Palin?
