I like that Scully is really the spine of this story from the beginning and it simply takes some time for the full scope of her role to become apparent. She follows the original abductee from 1994 to 2006. She is in the newspaper article. Kipler is smart to use her as a way of conveying to us the underlying mood of the piece. Kipler has taken her own narrator’s advice and written the river. I think Scully is our river in this story. She is the element that we know in our bones, that can be spoken of and understood.
