B.W.:
What is your take on the BBM phenomenon and what it says about the power of this story?

For me, there is a lot of punch in the timing of its telling and the time period it was set in. It serves as an acknowledgement of same sex love not being a new thing, or a fad, but an ongoing, at time repressed aspect of humanity. The repression there of created a tremendous amount of grief, and the story is a catharsis of that grief.
Proulx said the characters became very real for her, as it did for a lot of people. They are real. They are us.
