Three Moments of an Explosion
$22.00
“Award winner Miéville moves effortlessly among realism, fantasy, and surrealism in this dark, sometimes horrific short story collection” (Publishers Weekly).
Miéville has long been a darling of the mainstream media; here is the collection that will appeal to the mainstream reader that made bestsellers of George Saunders and Karen Russell. Eight years in the making, this collection bristles with staggering concepts and unforgettable images. By turns speculative, satirical, heart-wrenching, and spooky, fresh in form and language, these stories reveal an alternate version of our own universe: one in which art not only reflects humanity’s violence but causes it, and nature has turned the tables, making mankind the endangered species.
