erinsopran 's review for:
The City & the City
by China Miéville
Loved it. Looking forward to casually citing it as gospel truth the next time someone says the classic "Did you know it's really TWO cities, Buda and Pest?": "Yes, literally everyone knows that, and how some of the streets are crosshatched by both and if you're one city and see people from the other city the mystical police will disappear you, blah blah, knowitall."
This really did a great job of balancing explanations of what was actually going on, and leaving some details and whys/hows mysterious. I'd be very interested to read a followup (although the author seemed very clear in the Q&A at the end that there wouldn't be one), perhaps with more of the backstory and fantastical elements brought out into the open. Really left me wanting more!
