Absolutely! Of course! I've been subscribing to TNY since the early 1980s.
Tell you what, though. I really can't say any more why I read it or what drove me to read it, since, like Larry McMurtry, I don't generally read the short fiction. Perhaps I just recognized Annie Proulx's name and was curious. Perhaps I skimmed it and picked up on the male-male love theme. I really can't say.

Today is the day, October 13. :)
Hard to believe, in two more years it will be 20 years since the story was first published.
We can thank Tina Brown for it, I guess.

I like to celebrate the day quietly. It was like a smooth stone dropped into a pond with hardly a sound, but the waves that emanated eventually reached the entire world!

What a beautiful image, Lee!
Pure poetry!
Front-Ranger:
The happy day has come again! Thank you to Annie Proulx for her hard work and insight. :-*
