Neuroscientists have yet to determine what produces
consciousness, why we dream, or how amnesiacs can store information
without remembering it. Bellona's residents (mostly poor and black) live on looted
cans of food; there's no economy to speak of, gossip is the most
highly valued commodity, and a gang of thugs (eventually headed by the
main character, Kid, an amnesiac and possibly Native American poet) runs
a haphazard protection racket. There is a mystery about him that she intends to solve but there
are other forces at work on the island that intend to have their way and
there is nothing the amnesiac can do to stop them. |
