Thank you again to Brandon Sanderson. It’s been a great two weeks of conversation.
Our next guest is China Mieville. China, whose work is often described as “weird fiction,” is the writer of Perdido Street Station and YA novel Un Lun Dun.
His new novel, The City and the City, is a hard-boiled detective story featuring Inspector Tyador Borlu. It is set in the strange, mysterious and magical cities of Beszel and Ul Qoma. The mystery is fascinating, and China’s unique approach to these cities and their cultures will intrigue science fiction and fantasy fans. There’s something here for everyone, and this is a great starting point if you’ve never read China’s work before.
Check in tomorrow to learn the topic of our next debate.
