Frasi di China Miéville
pagina 3

China Tom Miéville è uno scrittore, attivista, fumettista, saggista ed accademico britannico, principalmente autore di opere fantasy e fantascientifiche.

Ama descrivere le sue opere come weird fiction, in riferimento agli autori horror e pulp dei primi del Novecento, in particolar modo Howard Phillips Lovecraft, ed è ascrivibile ad un eterogeneo gruppo di scrittori definito talvolta come New weird, impegnati nel liberare la letteratura fantasy dai cliché di genere e commerciali degli epigoni di Tolkien.

Miéville ha indicato la Trilogia di Borrible di Michael de Larrabeiti come una delle maggiori influenze sulla sua formazione letteraria.

“So what’s your alternative?”

China Miéville libro The Dusty Hat

people say, as if that’s logic. We don’t have to have an alternative, that’s not how critique works. We may do, and if we do, you’re welcome, but if we don’t that no more invalidates our hate for this, for what is, than does that of a serf for her lord, her flail-backed insistence that this must end, whether or not she accompanies it with a blueprint for free wage labour. Than does the millennially paced rage of the steepening shelf of the benthic plain for a system imposed by the cruelest and most crass hydrothermal vent, if that anemone-crusted angle of descent does not propose a submerged lake of black salt.
