The multi-award-winning China Mieville has been called 'the equal
of David Mitchell or Zadie Smith' (Scotland on Sunday), a writer
whose 'inventiveness and precision is awesome' (Independent), and
who writes with 'an imagination of immense power' (Guardian). 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, with beautiful prose and melancholy
wit, 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. It is a humane and unsentimental investigation of
our society, our world, and ourselves.
