CHINA MIEVILLE overlays The City & The City THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.
Harvard Book Store is pleased to welcome award-winning and best-selling fantasy author CHINA MIEVILLE for a discussion of his newest novel, The City & The City, an existential thriller set in a city unlike any other—real or imagined. Please note: This event has been moved from Zero Arrow Theatre to the First Parish Church Parlor Room at 3 Church St. in Cambridge. When a murdered woman is found in the city of Beszel, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks to be a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad. But as he investigates, the evidence points to conspiracies far stranger and more deadly than anything he could have imagined. Borlú must travel from the decaying Beszel to the only metropolis on Earth as strange as his own. This is a border crossing like no other, a journey as psychic as it is physical, a shift in perception, a seeing of the unseen. “Daring and disturbing.... Miéville illuminates fundamental and unsettling questions about culture, governance, and the shadowy differences that keep us apart.” —Walter Mosley (The Long Fall)
"Lots of books dabble in several genres but few manage to weld them together as seamlessly and as originally as The City & The City. In a tale set in a series of cities vertiginously layered in the same space, Miéville 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 (Last Days)
