There were more words when I sent it, really.

So, try again.

In the 20 May Publishers Weekly Mieville's new novel THE SCAR received a =
starred review.

Some quotes:

"one of the most talented new writers in the field "

"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 candidate for any =
number of award nominations."

Mieville will be aty LC on 16 July, see the WSFA page for details.
