The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again by M. John Harrison

5.0

Harrison is one of those writers who leaves me with a sort of psychic hangover. After reading one of his works, the world is shot with a menacing incomprehensibility. This book gives us a world that doesn't feel very distant from ours. But it's a Chinese Whispers version, where the most mundane things are distorted into unwieldy transformations. But somehow the net effect of this oneiric strangeness is to make it more closely mirror the oddness of being alive.
