October: The Story of the Russian Revolution
by China Miéville
Now, I have a masters degree in Central and Eastern European politics and I love China Miéville’s Bas-Lag trilogy and some of his stand alone novels. Even so, I’m not entirely sure what the readership of this book is supposed to be? It’s not academic; it offers no new evidence, interpretation or analysis of the revolutions and the intervening months. Equally it’s far too involved a recount and lacks any human interest for it to be targeted at casual readers of non-fiction.
