London, Macmillan, 2000. Proof. Paperback. A fine copy, signed by the author without inscription. Limited edgewear, the spine is unfaded (this proof often suffers from fading). Perdido Street Station remains Mieville's magnum opus, particularly when couple with The Scar and Iron Council. A baroque fever dream with deep world-building quite a stretch from the usual. China Mieville (1972-) is one of the most unique voices in the realm of speculative fiction, and a leading name in the new weird genre. He's best known for his Bas-Lag series, and The City and The City which was adapted successfully for the BBC. [11469, Hyraxia Books].
