This month, we’re asking people to pick one of China Miéville’s books so they can talk briefly about it.
Note that we have moved the meeting ahead a week to avoid clashing with the Matilda’s FIFA match on the 16th.
He often describes his work as weird fiction and is allied to the loosely associated movement of writers called New Weird.
Miéville has won numerous awards for his fiction, including the Arthur C. Clarke Award, British Fantasy Award, BSFA Award, Hugo Award, Locus Award and World Fantasy Awards. He holds the record for the most Arthur C Clarke Award wins (three). His novel Perdido Street Station was ranked by Locus as the 6th all-time best fantasy novel published in the 20th century.
His fiction includes:
Bas-Lag series
- Perdido Street Station (2000)
- The Scar (2002)
- Iron Council (2004)
