Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post NPR The Guardian Kirkus Reviews The fiction of multiple awardwinning author China Mieville is powered by intelligence and imagination. Like George Saunders, Karen Russell, and David Mitchell, he pulls from a variety of genres with equal facility, employing the fantastic not to escape from reality but instead to interrogate it in provocative, unexpected ways. London awakes one morning to find itself besieged by a sky full of floating icebergs. Destroyed oil rigs, mysteriously reborn, clamber from the sea and onto the land, driven by an obscure purpose. An anatomy student cuts open a cadaver to discover impossibly intricate designs carved into a corpses bonesdesigns clearly present from birth, bearing mute testimony to . . . what? Of such concepts and unforgettable images are made the twenty-eight stories in this collectionmany published here for the first time. By turns speculative, satirical, and heart-wrenching, fresh in form and language, and featuring a cast of damaged yet hopeful seekers who come face-to-face with the deep weirdness of the worldand at times the deeper weirdness of themselvesThree Moments of an Explosion is a fitting showcase for one of literatures most original voices.Praise for Three Moments of an Explosion China Mieville is dazzling.
