What did you think of the parallels between Zaga's rags-to-riches-to-rags story and Jemmy Button's? Obvious or compelling? What do you think the author was saying about money and privilege? Do you think Zaga was foolish?
And any theories on why the story was titled "Soroche," which means altitude sickness?

I liked this story, but I did find the parallels between Zaga and Jemmy Button sort of unsubtle. I assume the author was saying that money and privilege are fleeting and easily lost and shouldn't be relied upon for happiness.
I don't have a theory on "soroche." Any ideas?
