Annie Proulx, the author of Brokeback Mountain, has revealed that she regrets ever writing the story.
She said that since the the short story was adapted into an Oscar-winning film it's "been the cause of hassle and problems and irritation" for her.
The 79-year-old told the Paris Review: "I think it's important to leave spaces in a story for readers to fill in from their own experience, but unfortunately the audience that Brokeback reached most strongly have powerful fantasy lives.
"And one of the reasons we keep the gates locked here is that a lot of men have decided that the story should have had a happy ending.
"They can't bear the way it ends - they just can't stand it. So they rewrite the story, including all kinds of boyfriends and new lovers and so forth after Jack is killed. And it just drives me wild.
"They can't understand that the story isn't about Jack and Ennis. It's about homophobia; it's about a social situation; it's about a place and a particular mindset and morality. They just don't get it."
Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal starred in Ang Lee's adaptation of Proulx's short story. Lee subsequently won the Best Director Oscar, while the film also captured Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Score Academy Awards.
"I wish I'd never written the story," she admitted. "It's just been the cause of hassle and problems and irritation since the film came out. Before the film, it was alright."
