June 2009 Indie Next List

“A labyrinthine mystery as well as a visionary look at identity, politics, and geography, The City & the City is simply stunning. Mieville juggles a murder, two cities' mysterious pasts, and a tense political situation with deft prose and compelling characters. Mieville's latest is utterly enthralling, absorbing, and, ultimately, unforgettable.”
