Kathy's 'misty' and almost human like fragmented memory, highlighted by her attempt to connect with us through a reader in the text, illustrates her imperfections although the common perception of a genetically modified clone is that they are 'perfect', could this be an example of disturbing the reader?
Hi Miles. This is a really interesting question. In short, I think it can. Perhaps it is the 'uncanny' nature of the clones that makes them somewhat disturbing. There are several examples of this in the novel. So, yes, their almost human imperfections (including fragmented memory) is disturbing and unsettling for the reader.
