Produktbeschreibung
A highly anticipated collection of short fiction listed in the Guardian´s ´Essential Literary Calendar´ for 2015 from one of the most exciting and original authors writing today. The multi-award-winning China Miville has been called ´the equal of David Mitchell or Zadie Smith´ (Scotland on Sunday), whose ´inventiveness and precision is awesome´ (Independent), and who writes with ´an imagination of immense power´ (Guardian). In this extraordinary series of stories, defying definitions and literary stereotyping, he once again proves why he ´is one of the most interesting and promising writers to appear in the last few years in any genre´ (Carlos Ruiz Zafon). In these stories, glistening icebergs float above urban horizons; a burning stag runs wild through the city; the ruins of industry emerge unsteadily from the sea; and the abandoned generations in a decayed space-elevator look not up at the stars but down at the Earth. Ranging from portraits of childhood to chilling ghost stories, from dystopian visions to poignant evocations of uncanny love, with beautiful prose and melancholy wit, this breath-taking collection poses searching questions of what it is to be human in an unquiet world. It is a humane and unsentimental investigation of our society, our world, and ourselves.
