You know I didn't want to like this guy after reading Perdido Street Station. It had a completely unsatisfying ending and Mieville goes waaaay out of his way to use the most obscure and cryptic phrasings possible. It was fun at first because it reminded me of stopping every ten minutes to check a dictionary while trying to read Tolkien as a child, but that was an issue of time and localization.

The thing is his articles and essays keep popping up and I always agree with what he has to say. He's almost like the opposite of Orson Scott Card in this manner. Here's hoping he migrates over to nonfiction.
