Here's another reason to go to the China Mieville Library of Congress gig =
.

His new novel - THE SCAR - in the 20 May PublishersWeekly received a =
starred review, not too shabby.

A few quotes from the review:

"one of the most talented new writers"
"The author creates a marvelously detailed floating civilization filled =
with dark, eccentric characters worthy of Mervyn Peake or Charles =
Dickens."
"This is state-of-the-art dark fantasy and a likely canidate for any =
number of award nominations."

Needless to say, YMMV.
