The world of World Enough is configured differently. From the
opening page the reader is confronted by a succession of
"anomalies" that create a transform of the world we are familiar
with. Set against the backcloth of an imagined history spanning
Russia, France, Greater Israel, the United States of Africa and the
colonies of North America engaged in a war of liberation, World
Enough is narrated in a series of flashbacks and varied temporal
registers by the novel's four main characters: Katerina and Padua,
sisters born in pre-revolutionary Russia, and two Africans, Quaque
and Million M'loy. Their four accounts, switching back and forth
throughout the novel, complement and sometimes contradict each
other in their construction of an epic tale of romance, espionage,
chess, geopolitics, war and the prolongation of people's natural
lifespan, running from the early 20th century through to some
unspecified time in the 21st.
