Kort biografi: Miéville nació en Willesden, un barrio de clase trabajadora al noroeste de Londres, donde ha vivido desde la infancia. Creció junto a su madre, que era profesora, y su hermana. Sus padres se separaron justo después de su nacimiento, de manera que Miéville suele decir que nunca ha conocido a su padre realmente. A los 18 años, en 1990, se marchó a Egipto, donde permaneció un año enseñando inglés. Allí desarrolló un creciente interés por la cultura árabe y la política de Oriente Medio.

The city & the city af China Miéville

This is a propulsive noir detective story above all else, but the dual-city setting is fascinating, highlighting as it does social constructs (almost literal) and how we can choose not to see what’s right in front of us. Like a good noir, greed and corruption are at the heart of the story, in this case it’s the corruption of global capitalism.

Dial H 2: Exchange af China Mieville

While rereading volume 1 of this China Mieville-written graphic novel, I learned that there was a volume 2. There seem to be many more artists for this book, but the overall look is much the same. Having survived the events of volume 1, Nelson and Roxie continue to seek after the mysteries of the superpower-borrowing dials, and to stay ahead of the mysterious figure who wanders the multiverse shutting the dials down. We see a lot more of the multiverse here, along with a great many new superpowers for our protagonists to acquire, plus a suitably villainous new antagonist. This was the last volume, and the story ends on a satisfying stopping point. Great fun here again to see Mieville's imagination on display. The books might be a good introduction to him for a comics fan who hasn't read his novels or stories, but most Club Read denizens would do best to start with one of the novels - [The City and The City] would be my suggestion.… (mere)

The City & The City af China Mieville

Nearly perfect, Mieville has isolated some of the contradictions of globalization and drilled down until the liberal-capitalist world order begins to putrefy. Although some of the conversation writing felt stilted or lazy, I would like to see more of this.

Dial H Volume 1: Into You TP (New 52!) af China Mieville

I don't read many graphic novels, but, hey, China Mieville. Nelson Jent is down on his luck, unemployed, overweight, and just had a heart attack before his 30th birthday. He accidentally discovers that dialing H-E-R-O in a certain disused public phone booth (remember phone booths?) will turn him into a superhero. But the transformation is only temporary, the dial won't always work - and Nelson becomes a different superhero each time. Captain Lachrymose, for example, paralyzes criminals with grief by bringing their saddest memories back irresistably. Mieville's fabulous imagination supplies numerous weird, funny, and sometimes disgusting, superpowers. Nelson must confront criminals, a rival dial-driven superhero, and entities from other dimensions as he seeks to understand what's going on.

Th artist team here provides suitably vivid renderings of Mieville's ideas. Lots of pages with story panels interspersed on top of a full-page image, so that the reader must figure out the reading sequence. Dramatic and active, but sometimes a bit of a chore to read.

Note that DC Comics cancelled this series, unfinished, after one more volume.… (mere)
