Three
Moments of an Explosion: Stories
by
China Miéville
In these twenty-eight short stories, glistening icebergs float
above urban horizons; a burning stag runs wild through the city; the ruins of
industry emerge unsteadily from the sea; and the abandoned generations in a
decayed space-elevator look not up at the stars but down at the Earth.
Ranging from portraits of childhood to chilling ghost stories,
from dystopian visions to poignant evocations of uncanny love, Three Moments of
an Explosion is a breath-taking collection that poses searching questions of
what it is to be human in an unquiet world.
