"Daring and disturbing . . . Mieville illuminates fundamental and
unsettling questions about culture, governance and the shadowy
differences that keep us apart."--Walter Mosley, author of "Devil
in a Blue Dress
""Lots of books dabble in several genres but few manage to weld
them together as seamlessly and as originally as The City and The
City. In a tale set in a series of cities vertiginously layered in
the same space, Mieville offers the detective novel re-envisioned
through the prism of the fantastic. The result is a stunning piece
of artistry that has both all the satisfactions of a good mystery
and all the delight and wonder of the best fantasy."--Brian
Evenson, author of "Last Days"
"If Philip K. Dick and Raymond Chandler's love child were raised by
Franz Kafka, the writing that emerged might resemble China
Mieville's new novel, The City & the City." --"Los Angeles
Times
"
"China Mieville has made his name via award-winning, genre-bending
titles such as Kingt
Praise for China Mieville:
"[Mieville] has a gift . . . and a polished style."
"--Los Angeles Times, "on" The Scar"
"[Mieville] uses the tools and weapons of the fantastic to define
and create the fiction of the new century."
--Neil Gaiman
