finally got around to reading this, thank god. I fucking loved it. really made me understand why SF/F is inaccurate nomenclature. Definition of Speculative Fiction.

Also, thank god theres a modern author who knows how to end a book w/ something other thatn, "and then the hero got everything he was working for x 100 and died lord of hte universe. smile.jpg"

sry to start another Perdido thread but i'm just so fired up about it.

Ah, I know where you're coming from. I just finished my final essay of the semester about an hour ago, and my brain is still buzzing with capital L literature. I'm going to library and picking up some sweet brain candy tomorrow.

Anyway, yeah, Mieville is awesome.
