china mieville

China Miéville claims to be continuing the tradition of H. G. Wells because he writes science fiction novels that are not bound by any of the rules of realism that Jules Verne claims to follow but China is not writing in the style of Wells. China may be correct that science fiction does not need...

He's coming to Portland for a tribute to Ursula K. LeGuin. I brought a copy of Iron Council with me to work on the off chance I can get him to sign it. *jiggles excitedly like an overexcited vodyanoi*

Hi guys, I was going to buy the Audible audiobook of Perdido Street Station, but several of the reviews (albeit older reviews) mention editing errors where a chunk of the book is missing. Does anybody know if that’s still the case or if it’s been corrected? :)

Just came out today and I bought it. Absolutely blown away by the first few pages. I'm both a Francophile and a huge fan of surrealism, so it's as if this book were written specifically for me.

I've been commissioned to write a new suite of music and have decided to write pieces based on excerpts from Mieville's works. They will probably be narrated, and include some improvisation. I have read the 3 Bas Lag books, Kraken and Looking For Jake. Some ideas I already have are the 'demons...

I realised that I still haven't read anything by China Mieville, and this is something I should rectify. Any suggestions as to the best book to introduce me to his writing?

Mieville has a new short fiction collection coming out in July 2015. It's been a while since he released anything so I am really looking foreword to this.

China's story POLYNIA was published on the Tor website in July: http://torbooks.co.uk/2014/07/01/china-mieville-original-short-story/

Has anyone else read his Dial H series for DC Comics? I thought it was one of the best titles DC has put out in years. It's only 17 issues and it's collected in two TPBs.
