Gdy w ponurym, chylącym się ku upadkowi mieście Besźel położonym gdzieś na skraju Europy znaleziono ciało zamordowanej kobiety, wydawało się, że inspektora Tyadora Borlú z Brygady Najpoważniejszych Zbrodni czeka kolejna rutynowa sprawa. W miarę postępów śledztwa Borlú odkrywa jednak dowody wskazujące na spiski znacznie dziwniejsze i groźniejsze niż wszystko, co mógłby sobie wyobrazić. Wkrótce inspektorowi i bliskim mu ludziom zaczyna grozić niebezpieczeństwo. Borlú musi przekroczyć granicę niepodobną do żadnej innej i wyruszyć do jedynego miasta na Ziemi, które jest równie dziwne jak to, w którym mieszka...

text Why not both?

Mr. Ceridwen once had a very large public tizzy about how irritating this book was to him, I'm sure made all the more irritating because I had also just publicly declared my enduring love for Mr. Miéville. That was probably like a dozen years ago, which is apparently how long it takes me to get over...

text The City & The City - Why is Miéville ignored by some literary circles?

This book... oh dear. It's quite good and it's very hard to explain. What starts off seeming like a noir-ish crime novel or police procedural opens up and allows the reader to sort of play with what's happening in the reality of the story. Two city-states, somewhere in Europe, live within each other...

text How to Be in Two Cities at Once

A murder mystery set in two cities that share the same geographic space. Beszel and Ul Qoma are two Balkan city states that just happen to be shuffled together like a deck of cards. This is not like East and West Berlin separated by a wall, or like Jerusalem with its various sectors. One house might...

text Re-read for UC Book Club

6/25/2016 - Reread for UC Book Club June 2016 selection.For me the brilliance of this book isn't the plot or the characters, many of whom are types and trophes. It is the idea of two cities in the same place, because it is in many ways so true. Most cities have at least two faces. In this book, the ...
