My October can be read as an extended allegory, but Claire Holden Rothman says her overriding interest is in “very particular human lives. ... In this case, those lives are in crisis, and even though it’s a crisis with some specific roots, I think that anyone can relate to them.”

Holden Rothman draws from October Crisis, but roots narrative in a troubled St-Henri household in 2001.
