Setting


The book bases its setting off of Algeria. But it is a fictional setting. The picture on the right is a picture of the green motorcycle that the Vigiliant Brothers drive. It is a sight that intimidates people, especially women, because they never know what is going to happen to them when the V.B's come along.
The city they live in is a city that is contolled by people that make it impossible for people to express themselves. Alot of the book takes place in Yekker's book store, which is also frowned down upon by the public.
Another place he describes is the camp ground that he and his family traveled to during "the last summer of reason." He makes it sound like a beautiful place, but then again everything sounds wonderful compared to the "new order" world that they live in now.
