Environmental catastrophe has driven four people inside the dark throat of a
cave: Sky, a child coming of age; Tie, pregnant and grieving; Mark, a young man
poised to assume primacy; and Teller, an elder, holder of stories. As the
devastating heat of summer grows, so does the poison in Teller’s injured leg and
the danger of Tie’s imminent labor, food and water dwindling while the future
becomes increasingly dependent on the words Sky gleans from the dead, stories
pieced together from recycled knowledge, fragmented histories, and half-buried
creation myths. From the Caves presents the past, present, and future in tandem,
reshaping ancient and modern ideas of death and motherhood, grief and hope,
endings and beginnings.
