When
Cima’s father asks Hig why he came to their canyon—why he flew beyond the point
of no return—Hig can’t find an answer. What might have prompted Hig to take
that risk? What was he looking for?
When they decide to take a ewe and a ram with them on the plane, Hig says,
“Like the Ark. Here we go” [p. 273]. He says it jokingly, but does the novel
offer a sense of hope that life on the planet might continue, post apocalypse?
What other biblical references occur in the novel?
