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.

Cuando llegué a la escena de las camisas sentí una puntada en el corazón 💔 además me acordé de lo hermosa que es la actuación de Heath Ledger en la peli

Beautiful. Condensed in length but expansive in its rich emotional interiority and the way the relationships are drawn. Made me cry and will stay with me.
