Proulx is an writer who you might cognize best from the wildly successful pic adaptations of her book . She write both The Shipping News and Brokeback Mountain , so you’re able to probably opine she ’s the outdoorsy type . The luxuriant woodlands of Seattle seemed like a natural paroxysm . But being in Microsoft and Amazon ’s backyard did n’t suit her .

“ It ’s just a station that is more irritating to me than anything else , ” Proulx toldThe Guardianof her experience in Seattle . “ It ’s one eonian traffic jam and everything seems mismanaged . ”

“ I get tired of get word citizenry richly - fiving each other , ” she continue . “ It ’s full of techies ; it ’s just burst with tech hoi polloi . ”

While I certainly empathize with Proulx about hat traffic , I ’m not entirely indisputable that she ’s go to detect a high - five - free zone in the United States . specially with every entrepreneurial child in the commonwealth trying to become the next Mark Zuckerberg .

America was built on three things : Invention , slavery , and high fives . And at least a couple of those are in the Constitution .

Proulx admits that she ’ll lack being secretive to her Word who works in technical school in Seattle . But she ’s off to New England . Someone should differentiate her to direct clear of Boston . I get word they have a gamey - five epidemic . perhaps she should try Old England . High - fiving about engineering seems terribly gauche to the Brits .
