Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of Perdido Street Station (Bas-Lag Book 1), by China Miéville. I have read this. It is ... calling it surreal would probably result in surreal saying "Damn this shit is WEIRD." Miéville had some controversy in the past.
Stolperzitat Nr. 10 #ChinaMiéville in 'The Scar' -
Gebannte Faszination:
"It is a faint, regular beat that he feels in his innards. A ponderous smashing stroke. His stomach pitches. He hears it only for an instant, a quirk of space and thaumaturgy, but he knows what it is, and the knowledge stuns him. It is a heart the size of cathedral, beating far below him in the dark."
Stolperzitat Nr. 9 aus 'The Scar' von #chinamiéville #baslag #fantasy #lesen und beschreibt die Vorbereitung der Kampfsportler der 'scabmettler'; dt. Schorfeiferer?:
"Each of them sliced in turn at his face, and chest, and belly an thighs, and grew a unique integument of dried blood, hardened cuirasses and greaves and vambraces and helmets with irregular edges and coloration; random extrusions like lava flows, organic and mineral at once."
How awesomely weird and disgusting do you wanna be? <3
Endlich gehe ich Teil 2 der #BasLag Trilogie an. Bin gespannt, ob 'The Scar' mich genauso fesselt, wie vor ca. 10 Jahren 'Perdido Street Station'. Verspüre Vorfreude :)
