Annie Proulx
Rodeo In Art And Media
Ballet
The only depiction of rodeo in high art is choreographer Agnes de Mille’s ballet, Rodeo commissioned by the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in 1942 with a score by Aaron Copland. The ballet’s Cowgirl loves the Champion Roper but is forced to discard her boots, jeans, and cowgirl ways for a pretty dress. Though the work was later criticized for the heteronormativity of the storyline, many of the themes are autobiographical for De Mille. The choreographer felt awkward in the offstage world, and the Cowgirl’s unwillingness to subscribe to traditional gender roles mirrors De Mille’s experience.
Music
“Rodeo” is a single by Garth Brooks from his album Ropin’ the Wind (1991). The song tells a man who has the uncontrollable urge to be in the Tulsa rodeo His lover however would “give half of Texas just to change the way he feels. / It’s the ropes and the reins and the joy and the pain and they call the thing a rodeo.” On the 1991 U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks charts its highest peak position was number three, and on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks, its highest peak position was number one for the week of October 18ctober 26.
Rodeo is a ballet score written by Aaron Copland in 1942. The ballet consists of five sections: “Buckaroo Holiday”, “Ranch House Party”, “Corral Nocturne”, “Saturday Night Waltz”, and “Hoe-Down”. The symphonic version omits “Ranch House Party”, leaving the other sections relatively intact.
Film
Jake Gyllenhall and Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain
Brokeback Mountain (2005) follows the twenty year homosexual romance between Jack Twist, a rodeo cowboy and Ennis Del Mar, a ranch hand.
8 Seconds (1994) is a biopic about bull riding champion Lane Frost. The film follows his life from his youthful education in bull riding to his death at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo in 1989. Luke Perry plays Frost with Stephen Baldwin as real life rodeo legend Tuff Hedeman, and Red Mitchell as cowboy poet Cody Lambert. The live arena bull riding scenes were filmed in San Antonio, Texas.
Urban Cowboy (1980) is a romance film about the love-hate relationship between newlywed cowboy Bud Davis (John Travolta) and his cowgirl wife, Sissy (Debra Winger). The film follows the young couple and their attempts to master a mechanical bull in a country nightspot.
Junior Bonner (1972) starred Steve McQueen, Joe Don Baker, Robert Preston and Ida Lupino in a story about a veteran rodeo rider who returns to his hometown to participate in an annual rodeo competition and reunite with his brother and estranged parents.
J.W. Coop (1971) was written, produced, directed and starred Cliff Robertson as a rodeo performer who has just spent several years in jail and is released into a world where rodeo competitors no longer compete in all-around rodeo events but specialize in one event only and fly in private planes around America to compete.
The Misfits (1961) was written by Arthur Miller, directed by John Huston, and starred Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. An archetypal drifting rodeo cowboy (Montgomery Clift) is enlisted in a scheme to capture and sell mustangs to a dog food factory.
The Lusty Men (1952) was directed by Nicholas Ray and Robert Parrish. The film stars Susan Hayward, Arthur Kennedy, and Robert Mitchum in a story about a former rodeo champ who takes an amateur under his wing against the wishes of the man’s wife.
Television
In the early 1960s, NBC and ABC each released their one and only dramatic television series based on rodeo. NBC’s Wide Country (which was noted for emulating its ABC rival) saw one season (19621963) as did ABC’s Stoney Burke starring future Hawaii Five-O star Jack Lord in the titular role as a young rodeo man. Stoney Burke was based on the life of Casey Tibbs, an all-around rough stock champion who acted as technical advisor to the series. The southwestern rodeo circuit was background for the weekly, hour-long, black and white series which featured footage from actual rodeo rough stock and timed events. Guest stars appeared as the various folk Stoney met on the rodeo road. Writers carefully worked the Cowboy Code into each episode.
Literature
“Brokeback Mountain” is a short story by Annie Proulx first published in The New Yorker in 1997. The story is about a ranch hand and a rodeo man who forge a sudden emotional and sexual attachment. As their separate lives play out with marriages, children and jobs, they reunite for brief liaisons on camping trips in remote settings over the course of 20 years.
Advertising
Rodeo has long been tapped by American advertisers. As earliest as 1936, for example, Camel cigarette ads featured steer wrestler Dick Shelton, and, in the late 1940s, Wrangler marketed a pair of “rodeo jeans” designed following consultations with RCA cowboys. In 1962, Wrangler published a 49-issue series of comic books highlighting the rodeo men who wore Wrangler jeans. In the last decades of the twentieth century, Resistol hats were hawked by rodeo champions, Coca-Cola ads featured a bull rider, and Levi-Strauss used rodeo in their ads and urged readers to “Go to rodeo America’s most exciting sport”. Isuzu Motors Limited positioned its sports-utiliy Rodeo as a “darn good get-away vehicle”.
Rodeo specific advertising came to a head annually during the era with ESPN’s coverage of the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Dodge trucks, Justin boots, Resistol hats, Coors beer, Coca-Cola soft drink, Copenhagen/Skoal tobacco, Seagram whiskey, and Wrangler jeans all mined the mythical dimension of rodeo in promoting its products to the event’s audience. The archetypal rodeo man in such promotions similar to he of movies, song, literature, television, and art was the representative of the Code of the West and was presented as “individualistic, courageous, skilled, resourceful, plain-spoken, humble, loyal, and democratic.”

American Avenue: Rhythm & Reason $25.95 American Avenue will make you laugh and cry, but perhaps most of all, think. You”ll find the warmth of Ivan Doig, the coloration of Annie Proulx, the cadence of Timothy Egan and the philosophical undertones of Ayn Rand and Tom Robbins. It is a collage of the American condition at the beginning of the 21st century. Short stories, poems, longer stories, rants and essays-sketches and analyses that reveal the complexity and diversity that give America its resilience and hope. As Mr. Steding writes, Americans are both grotesque and lovely, producing a conundrum so grand as to be insoluble by either allies or enemies. The final essay, The Future of American Power: A Manifesto for Change should be mandatory reading for anyone in a position of national leadership, today. |

Bad Dirt $14 From Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner Annie Proulx comes a stellar collection of short stories set in Wyoming.From The Publisher:The stories in Annie Proulx’s new collection are peopled by characters who struggle with circumstances beyond their control in a kind of rural noir half-light. Trouble comes at them from unexpected angles, and they will themselves through it, hardheaded and resourceful. Bound by the land and by custom, they inhabit worlds that are often isolated, dangerous, and in Proulx’s bold prose, stunningly vivid.In What Kind of Furniture Would Jesus Pick? rancher Gilbert Wolfscale, alienated from his sons, bewildered by his criminal ex-wife, gets shoved down his throat the fact that the old-style ranch life has gone. Several stories concern the eccentric denizens of Elk Tooth, a tiny hamlet where life revolves around three bars. Elk Toothers enter beard-growing contests, scrape together a living hauling hay, catch poachers in unorthodox ways. Man Crawling out of Trees is about urban newcomers from the east and their discovery, too late, that one of them has violated the deepest ethics of the place. Above all, these stories are about the compelling lives of rapidly disappearing rural Americans.Through Proulx’s knowledge of the history of Wyoming and the west, her interest in landscape and place, and her sympathy for the sheer will it takes to survive, we see the seared heart of the tough people who live in the emptiest state. Proulx, winner of the Pulitzer, the National Book Award, and many other prizes, has written a collection of spectacularly satisfying stories.About The Author:Annie Proulx’s The Shipping News won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the National Book Award for Fiction, and the Irish Times International Fiction Prize. She is the author of two other novels: Postcards, winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award, and Accordion Crimes. She has also written two collections of short stories, Heart Song |

Bad Land Pastoralism in Great Plains Fiction $21.95 At the core of this nuanced book is the question that ecocritics have been debating for decades: what is the relationship between aesthetics and activism, between art and community? By using a pastoral lens to examine ten fictional narratives that chronicle the dialogue between human culture and nonhuman nature on the Great Plains, Matthew Cella explores literary treatments of a succession of abrupt cultural transitions from the Euroamerican conquest of the “Indian wilderness” in the nineteenth century to the Buffalo Commons phenomenon in the twentieth. By charting the shifting meaning of land use and biocultural change in the region, he posits this bad land—the arid West—as a crucible for the development of the human imagination. Each chapter deals closely with two novels that chronicle the same crisis within the Plains community. Cella highlights, for example, how Willa Cather reconciles her persistent romanticism with a growing disillusionment about the future of rural Nebraska, how Tillie Olsen and Frederick Manfred approach the tragedy of the Dust Bowl with strikingly similar visions, and how Annie Proulx and Thomas King use the return of the buffalo as the centerpiece of a revised mythology of the Plains as a palimpsest defined by layers of change and response. By illuminating these fictional quests for wholeness on the Great Plains, Cella leads us to understand the intricate interdependency of people and the places they inhabit. Cella uses the term “pastoralism” in its broadest sense to mean a mode of thinking that probes the relationship between nature and culture: a discourse concerned with human engagement—material and nonmaterial—with the nonhuman community. In all ten novels discussed in this book, pastoral experience—the encounter with the Beautiful—leads to a renewed understanding of the integral connection between human and nonhuman communities.

Bird Cloud: A Memoir $18.95 “Bird Cloud” is the name Annie Proulx gave to 640 acres of Wyoming wetlands and prairie and four-hundred-foot cliffs plunging down to the North Platte River. On the day she first visited, a cloud in the shape of a bird hung in the evening sky. Proulx also saw pelicans, bald eagles, golden eagles, great blue herons, ravens, scores of bluebirds, harriers, kestrels, elk, deer and a dozen antelope. She fell in love with the land, then owned by the Nature Conservancy, and she knew what she wanted to build on it—a house in harmony with her work, her appetites and her character, a library surrounded by bedrooms and a kitchen. Proulx’s first work of nonfiction in more than twenty years, Bird Cloud is the story of designing and constructing that house—with its solar panels, Japanese soak tub, concrete floor and elk horn handles on kitchen cabinets. It is also an enthralling natural history and archaeology of the region—inhabited for millennia by Ute, Arapaho and Shoshone Indians— and a family history, going back to nineteenth-century Mississippi riverboat captains and Canadian settlers. Proulx, a writer with extraordinary powers of observation and compassion, here turns her lens on herself. We understand how she came to be living in a house surrounded by wilderness, with shelves for thousands of books and long worktables on which to heap manuscripts, research materials and maps, and how she came to be one of the great American writers of her time. Bird Cloud is magnificent. |

Brokeback Mountain $7.95 Annie Proulx has written some of the most original and brilliant short stories in contemporary literature, and for many readers and reviewers, “Brokeback Mountain” is her masterpiece. Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, two ranch hands, come together when they’re working as sheepherder and camp tender one summer on a range above the tree line. At first, sharing an isolated tent, the attraction is casual, inevitable, but something deeper catches them that summer. Both men work hard, marry, and have kids because that’s what cowboys do. But over the course of many years and frequent separations this relationship becomes the most important thing in their lives, and they do anything they can to preserve it. The New Yorker won the National Magazine Award for Fiction for its publication of “Brokeback Mountain,” and the story was included in Prize Stories 1998: The O. Henry Awards. In gorgeous and haunting prose, Proulx limns the difficult, dangerous affair between two cowboys that survives everything but the world’s violent intolerance. |
