China Miéville citations
Page 3

China Tom Miéville, né le 6 septembre 1972 à Norwich en Angleterre, est un auteur de romans qui se joue des genres littéraires : science-fiction, horreur, fantastique, roman noir figurent parmi ceux qu'il a délibérément utilisés et mélangés dans ses œuvres à ce jour. Miéville qualifie son travail de « weird fiction » et a été rangé par la critique dans un groupe informel d'auteurs nommé New Weird , rassemblés par leur volonté de faire sortir la littérature de fantasy des clichés imposés par les successeurs de John Ronald Reuel Tolkien.

“So what’s your alternative?”

China Miéville livre The Dusty Hat

people say, as if that’s logic. We don’t have to have an alternative, that’s not how critique works. We may do, and if we do, you’re welcome, but if we don’t that no more invalidates our hate for this, for what is, than does that of a serf for her lord, her flail-backed insistence that this must end, whether or not she accompanies it with a blueprint for free wage labour. Than does the millennially paced rage of the steepening shelf of the benthic plain for a system imposed by the cruelest and most crass hydrothermal vent, if that anemone-crusted angle of descent does not propose a submerged lake of black salt.
