New fiction
Perdido Street Station lays heavy on my desk, beckoning me to start reading it. It’s been a while since a novel has coaxed me to spread it open and devour it’s contents (or a woman, for that matter). I don’t know much about the novel except that the author is an artist, loves comics by Warren Ellis and he’s getting a Ph. D. The novel has been catagorized as “weird fiction”, (weird fiction? Sold!) a mishmash of genres turned on their head. Briefly looking into the book, I see that it begins with a quote by Philip K. Dick. It’s setting the tone for something grand. More once I start.
