It’s hard to say what Everett is best known for. For context, I’d just read an Everett novel wherein a man wakes up in his coffin after his own beheading, travels to the desert, and lives with a bunch of clones in an underground government facility. More surprising to me was my friend’s characterization of Everett as a deeply realist author, grounded in the contemporary world and its contemporary issues.

The plot preserves the shape of the original without ever losing the capacity to surprise and, more importantly, prod reflection and recognition. Though believed to be tainted, Antigone and her sister Ismene can still serve as such vessels. Souls can be embodied only by mixing the purified genes of the dead, who are then reborn via the surrogacy of the living. The siblings are ostracized because they were naturally conceived and thus believed to be soulless. Not only is it politically expedient for Kreon to keep his dead rival’s children alive, it’s necessary-because this is a postapocalyptic scenario: all genes are compromised, and every “viable womb” is precious to the state. Antigone and her siblings are given refuge by Kreon, who overthrew their father’s government.
