Bestselling author China Miéville (Perdido Street Station, The City & The City, does he really need an introduction on this site?) is doing a series of events across the U.S. and in Canada to support his latest novel. As engaging in conversation as his fiction is to read, you owe it to yourself to check out Miéville if he comes to your town. Especially for Embassytown, the author’s first foray into science fiction.
