China Miéville

Writer

China Miéville (born 1972) is a British author known for blending fantasy, science fiction, noir and political themes into inventive, genre-defying novels.

Known for combining speculative fiction and noir, and for left-wing political activism; author of several acclaimed novels including The City & The City.

The review praises The City & The City as an original, genre-blending novel mixing noir, dystopia and speculative ideas. It highlights the central conceit of two cities (Besźel and Ul Qoma) separated by invisible boundaries and the concept of the "breach." Inspector Borlú's investigation exposes political and social themes that resonate with contemporary concerns.

For:Readers of speculative fiction, noir and politically engaged literature.

 Fanucci recently republished in Italy (the first Italian edition dates back to 2011) this beautiful last novel by China Miéville (born 1975), which tells a unique story in an original way, even if some have sought to compare it to different authors like Philip K. Dick, Raymond Chandler, and Franz Kafka.
