Perdido Street Station, China Mieville

[Casilda]

Perdido Street Station is the first of three novels by China Mieville to be set in “New Crobuzon,” and though I have yet to read it, I’ve heard very good things about it.

Plus! It was nominated for the Hugo and Nebula awards (both for best novel), the James Tiptree Jr award, and won the Arthur C. Clarke award.

It’s a terrific novel. Well worth reading the two other New Crobuzon novels too: the Scar and Iron Council. Meiville’s work is riotously imaginative and very political but in a good, interesting way.
