Description

To conclude the conference Weird Council: an International Conference on the Writing of China Miéville members of the public are freely invited to attend a reading and question and answer session with novelist himself.  The session will be followed by a wine reception.

Miéville has recently been credited as “leading revolutions in fantasy as both a writer and a critic” (in a 2009 special edition of SF journal Extrapolation dedicated to his work). His fiction spans a wide variety of themes, contexts and genre-blurring literary traditions, which metaphorically explores, among other things, the implications of lived cultural, racial and geographical boundaries, collective struggle, and bodily affect.
