"The Shambleau called Carmel came to Central Station in spring, when the smell in the air truly is intoxicating. It is a smell of the sea, and of the sweat of so many bodies, their heat and their warmth, and it is the smell of humanity’s spices and the cool scent of its many machines." In “Central...

I finished this earlier today and not really sure what to think about this. It has some interesting stories within the novel but not really sure what the point of the overall book was.3 Stars for a novel I am not sure what I fell about it.

Man, this book is bananas: a noir set in a fascist England in 1939, with an unexpected historical figure as the gumshoe. It's bizarre to have something so high concept be so pulpy and brutal. Certainly fucks up one's notions of the role of alternate history, boy howdy. Full review at B&N Sci-Fi.

Central Station by Lavie Tidhar Central Station is one of the most breathtakingly, bewilderingly, mindbendingly imaginative stories I've read in some time. In terms of sheer breadth and volume of ideas, it reminds me of Hannu Rajaniemi, but Tidhar's style is far more lyrical and dreamlike. The sto...
