Странная проза и "Посольский город" Чайны Мьевиля

China Mieville is one of the leaders of the literary movement of the "new weird", authors whose books categorically "do not fit" into the framework of any traditional (and even non-traditional genres). In his novel "Embassy City" the reader will find all the main features of "strange prose" - incredible fantasy, held together by strict internal logic of the narrative, amazing characters, acute social and philosophical problems and much more. But the main thing is that the book is incredibly fascinating, at least in the opinion of your humble servant. On the planet Arieke lives a strange species of intelligent beings who speak in two voices at the same time, whose Language functions as a literal embodiment of reality. They use people as comparisons to create new metaphors with the help of which they can talk about new concepts. "The girl who ate what she was given." "The man who swims with the fishes." But people ruined everything, without even suspecting it. Arieka changes forever... ***** If you are interested, you can watch my review of Samuel Delaney's novels here: Two of Delaney's best novels: "Babylon-17" and "Nova"    • Два лучших романа Дилэни: "Вавилон-17" и "...   ***** If you want to support the author directly, you can do so here: For those in Russia: https://boosty.to/bibliolab For those outside Russia: https://ko-fi.com/nikitadubrovin In addition, I have a second channel where I post my own sci-fi (and other) works in audio format:    / @-bibliolab
