Background Based on a true story of a serial killer operating in the Tucson area (Charles Schmid) who murdered three teenage girls and buried the bodies in the desert. Oates saw story in Life magazine, but didn’t complete it; she chose to let her imagination run wild and thus wrote her own version.

Background Oates dedicated the story “To Bob Dylan”, and apparently chose the title from a lyric in his song “A Hard Rain’s-a-Gonna Fall” Contains the lyric refrain “And what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?/And what’ll you do now, my darling young one?”
