But above all else Cyrus is sad; profoundly, inconsolably, suicidally sad. His oceanic sorrows are fed by many Styxes, but the deepest and darkest is his mother Roya’s “unspeakable” death. Like a goose.”The reference is to the notorious real-life destruction of Iran Air Flight 665 by the U.S.S. Sixty-six children were aboard Flight 665 — Cyrus should have been the 67th, but Roya decided to leave her son home because he was so young. If you think the condition of a native is a nervous one, try the condition of the immigrant who settles in the country that vaporized his loved one.

In the coming months, 1,111 miles to the northeast, physicists in the Eastman Kodak Company headquarters began following that trail. By testing the particles that settled in one of its manufacturing facilities, Kodak determined that they came from a nuclear bomb. They agreed to give Kodak advance notice of any nuclear testing in exchange for them dropping legal action. It took decades for the rest of the country and the world to find out about the dangers of nuclear fallout.
