![]() ![]() (You may recall Zeb as Toby’s rough-around-the-edges love from her time as Eve Six at Edencliff with the God's Gardeners in The Year of the Flood.)Įxposition is the speculative writer’s bane. Home is a small survivors compound made from the old cob house, a former garden stand, now fortified with a fence, vegetable garden and, eventually, beehives. Toby lives with Zeb, who also survived, along with a clutch of MaddAddamites. So Toby and the girls bring Snowman and the Crakers back home for safekeeping. The Crakers, genetically engineered by Crake to be in a perpetual state of innocence, show up and naively untie the captured painballers. Toby and Ren have just rescued Amanda from two vile painballers when Snowman-the-Jimmy stumbles into the ring of light around their campfire. Specifically it is the story of how the horrors of the past become codified into a child-appropriate cycle of bedtime stories told by the rifle-toting Toby to the big-eyed polyamorous Crakers, in whom there is no guile, not a glimmer. It begins at the moment Oryx and Crake ends. ![]()
