China Miéville, one of the best writers in any genre I’ve ever read, published The Scar in 2002. It may be my favorite, but that’s a hard call. Miéville writes what has been called “New Weird” fiction. This novel is weird, all right. Also absolutely fascinating, part of a trilogy set in the same fantasy world. Some of the characters overlap from book to book, but they are not sequels.
Is Atwood’s dystopian novel too grim for a holiday collection of quotations? Too bad–look around you. The book has come to life before our eyes.
One of the most engaging anti-hero rogues in all fantasy, Locke Lamora is even more fascinating when paired with his buddy Jean. If you haven’t read The Lies of Locke Lamora, you have a treat in store. It is Book One of The Gentleman Bastards series.
