M John Harrison recommends
Perdido Street Station (2000)
(New Crobuzon, book 1)
China Miéville
"Energetic, thuggish, constantly inventive China Mieville continues his project of rebuilding fantasy from the sub cellar up. New Crobuzon, city of clockwork engine and subterranean punishment factory, has the architectonics of a living thing. It is a site of elation, dispute, danger and change: a city raucous with dreams."
The Quality of Light (2001)
Christopher Kenworthy
"A curious and powerful novel. Magic and rage among people trapped in the sticky residues of their own needs."
