extremely funny combo he's rocking there. Writing fun books about magical realism and how we relate to cities and the weirdness of language while being a rock-solid communist and looking like he spends most friday nights around 3am scrapping with strangers by the taxi rank
Look, my first encounter with Miéville was Perdido Street Station, which introduces a race of people in which the females have a giant beetle head (note: not the head of a beetle, but like, an entire giant beetle instead of a head) that make hard resin out of their head-butts (and make art from it) and the males are nonsentient straight up beetles.... and then the book gets weirder
I didn't know what I expected him to look like but the first time I saw a picture of him I thought I had the wrong China Miéville somehow
(also Perdido Street Station is fun as hell and his writing in general is delightul)
