AbstractHistoryArchive Description

"When Hollywood actor Heath Ledger finishes reading the script for Brokeback Mountain - a film about a love affair between two American cowboys - he thought of his friend Adam Sutton, whose life was reflected in many of the film's themes, and told him: 'I've just read this script and it sounds a lot like you.' ...By nature Adam was a masculine daredevil who survived on the strength of his boisterous character. He was the 'crazy bastard' - the maddest, bravest bloke in the room - who had faced tragedy, a prison stint and five long years on the road, but who could not face himself. His remarkable and unlikely journey from the worlds of cowboys, rodeos and stereotypes, to Hollywood and, finally, to self-acceptance, is a powerful reminder that sometimes truth is even stranger than Hollywood fiction." - back cover
