About This Book

A young spacefarer prepares to leave the solar system after being chosen to pilot a starship to another star, prompting a tender family morning in which his mother receives keepsakes from the planets and his parents respond with pride and unease. He tries to convey the scale of his longing by projecting a model of the heavens for them to see. The narrative contrasts domestic bonds and simple pleasures with the irresistible pull of exploration, examining yearning, sacrifice, and the attempt to translate cosmic wonder into familiar, human terms.
