China Mieville works the crooked beat

China Mieville is one of my favorite Sci-Fi writers and he has a new book out, City & the City. Usually know for what he calls 'weird fiction', this book is more of a mystery. Of course his version of a mystery takes place in an odd city with strange goings-on.

Not only that but he is the guest blogger over at Omnivoracious this week. His  post entitled 'Neither a Contract Nor a Promise: Five Movements To Watch Out For' is a humorous look at upcoming hip literary scenes that don't exist yet. Omnivoracious also have a podcast interview with China.

Expanded Books has a nice video of China giving a synopses of the book. (Watch it here)
