回复: 如果有一天,你唯一的儿子带回一个GG/你唯一的女儿带回一个MM, 说“这是偶心爱的人, 偶要和他/她结婚”。你会有什么反应?
同性恋能写出《罗密欧与朱丽叶》?估计电影《莎翁情史》也是瞎掰,如果写实的话,就没《断背山》啥事了。或者莎翁是双性恋?也有可能有恋童癖。
To be, or not to be: that is the question……
只想告诉你断背山作者是女性,结过三次婚有三子一女.做做RESERACH而不是臆断猜测.

[edit] Personal life and writing
Annie Proulx was born in
Norwich,
Connecticut to parents of
French-Canadian ancestry. She graduated from
Deering High School in
Portland, Maine, then attended
Colby College "for a short period in the
1950s." She later returned to school, studying at the
University of Vermont from
1966 to
1969, and graduated
cum laude and
Phi Beta Kappa with a
Bachelor of Arts in History in 1969. She got her
Master of Arts from
Sir George Williams University (now Concordia University) in
Montreal,
Quebec in
1973 and pursued, but did not complete, her
Ph.D. Starting as a
journalist, her first published work of fiction is thought to be "The Customs Lounge", a
science fiction story published in the September 1963 issue of
If, under the byline "E.A. Proulx".
[1] She subsequently published stories in
Gray's Sporting Journal in the late
1970s, eventually publishing her first collection in
1988 and her first novel in
1992. Subsequently, she has been awarded
NEA (in 1992) and
Guggenheim (in 1993) fellowships.
A few years after receiving much attention for
The Shipping News, she had the following comment on her celebrity status: "It's not good for one's view of human nature, that's for sure. You begin to see, when invitations are coming from festivals and colleges to come read (for an hour for a hefty sum of money), that the institutions are head-hunting for trophy writers. Most don't particularly care about your writing or what you're trying to say. You're there as a human object, one that has won a prize. It gives you a very odd, meat-rack kind of sensation."
[1]
In
1997, Proulx was awarded the
Dos Passos Prize. Proulx has twice won the
O. Henry Prize for the year's best short story. In
1998, she won for "Brokeback Mountain," which had appeared in
The New Yorker on
October 13,
1997. (The story has since become an award-winning 2005 movie, directed by
Ang Lee.) Proulx won again the following year for "The Mud Below," which appeared in
The New Yorker June 22 and
29,
1999. Both appear in her 1999 collection of short stories,
Close Range: Wyoming Stories. The lead story in this collection, entitled "The Half-Skinned Steer," was selected by author Garrison Keillor for inclusion in
The Best American Short Stories 1998, (Proulx herself edited the 1997 edition of this series) and later by novelist John Updike for inclusion in
The Best American Short Stories of the Century (1999).
Proulx's most famous critic is
Brian Reynolds Myers, who attacked the writer extensively in his
A Reader's Manifesto. Myers claimed that Proulx is purposely incoherent and allusive. He sees her as part of a problematic trend in American literature in which writers are praised simply because their prose is so difficult to understand. Countercritics, for instance,
The Complete Review have complained that Myers has unfairly assumed that Proulx has a canonical status which she in fact does not enjoy.
Proulx lived for more than thirty years in
Vermont,
has married and divorced three times, and has three sons and a daughter (named Jon, Gillis, Morgan, and Sylvia). In 1994, she moved to
Wyoming, where she currently resides, spending part of the year in
Newfoundland.
[edit] Criticism of Academy Awards
After the film adaptation of
Brokeback Mountain lost the
Best Picture Oscar to
Crash at the
2006 Academy Awards, Proulx published an
extensive criticism in the British newspaper
The Guardian of 11 March 2006, in which she lambasted the awards show.
Brokeback Mountain had won most major awards (including the
Golden Globe for best drama) in the lead-up to the Oscars, and Proulx's article seemed to suggest that it did not win at the Oscars due to
homophobia, either directly on the part of the
Academy, or because the Academy gave in to outside pressures. She further implied that the
Church of Scientology influenced the decision.
Among other complaints, Proulx pondered whether
Philip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of writer
Truman Capote, though "brilliant," was in fact little more than "mimicry." She wrote that the Academy members were a "dim
LA crowd," for whom the "atrocious" and "violent" Oscar-winning song "
It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" was "a favorite," and that
Crash was "a hit with the home team since the film is set in Los Angeles." Proulx referred to
Crash as "Trash," and likened the evening to "a small-town talent-show night." She closed the article, "For those who call this little piece a Sour Grapes Rant, play it as it lays."
