MARY had thought the mulefa had no history, but that was because the history she’d been taught in school was about politics, the clash of nation states, the rise and fall of empires. In her time among the mulefa she learned about a different kind of history. They had forgotten nothing they’d ever known, and such things as the story of the great storm of fifteen thousand years before, or the discovery of the cord-fibre plant, or the week-long ride of the one survivor of the south shore earthquake nursing his broken wheel as he had to cross country to keep out of the floods, were all the subject of lengthy and complex recital, embroidered and counterpointed by the teller and the listeners jointly. Mary was not with them for long enough to discover whether they had any concept of fiction – or whether, indeed, those tales were remembered or invented.
