Why this must be read: This story is such an interesting read because, while the characters are trying to figure out who they are and who they were, the reader is trying to do the same. Vestigy is set in the future, post alien colonization, in a settlement in the Southwest. The surviving humans have had their selves stripped away, and they're struggling to find a way to live while also working to reconnect with their loved-ones from vaguely remembered lives.
It's pretty today, Petunia. One of those clear blue-sky afternoons when just looking up at the heavens makes me think I'm just a hair's breadth away from knowing everything. Not just about who I was, but _everything_. There are so many mysteries and they're not just reflected in the vastness of sky, but in the little beauties all around us, right next to us. Right below us. Bessie--the Occidental's madam--is under my window, hanging her smalls out to dry. She's an ugly woman, but damned if she can't sing. Was it meant for me to stop just now, to scratch my head, and think, 'Gee, beauty from ugliness...what a concept'?
If I was a Fed, Petunia, then maybe the Factory fueled a refiner's fire. God, I hope so.
