A caring and tragic tale of two people who love each other, but can't quite manage to truly be together. Proulx's story is well-written, perfectly paced, and so carefully done. I'm always impressed when a short story manages to convey such emotion and complexity within so little time. This was a fantastic audio listen over a long walk one sunset night, and I'm so glad I experienced the famous film in the original text.
