China Mieville talks about Embassytown

[@potallegta]

"unmediated representation of reality" Damn, he's just so good at choosing his words even during speech

[@tubeuser42]

OMG! More Immerverse books please! I love the kind of world described in the last couple of pages of Embassytown. Where Embassytown has become a border town on the edge of known space, used as a way station into the immer to dicover new planets and exots and gods know what. And Cho will be the captain of a immership and go where no man has gone before, with her trusty second-in-command lutieunant Spanish Dancer. Steady as she goes number one!

Expect great things from this author, he is very thought provoking.

[@fuzzymohawk478]

He will never be household name. He's a readers, writer, such as Umberto Eco. For one, he is esoteric in natures in designs as well verbose in semantics along with his syntax although profound would not grasp the market name as writer like, Dean Koontz, would cover and generally pooh pooh with lovely likable protagonist that are well done and simple. And do not challenge anything or any idea.

Would you consider writing something set in the universe of the Iain Bank's "Culture" cycle?

[@LOCATIONREDACTED]

Probably not

[@TheRealJonas72]

Are you for real? First of all, who lets a thing like what the writer believes in stop him from enjoying a good book? (And for the record, Mieville is a fantastic writer). Secondly, do some research, will ya? Mieville is, for one thing, an atheist. Of course, if you let your idiotic misconceptions stop you from enjoying his books, it's just your loss.
