Perdido Street Station: A Bas-Lag Novel 1
Perdido Street Station: A Bas-Lag Novel 1 | China Miville
The metropolis of New Crobuzon sprawls at the centre of its own bewildering world. Humans and mutants and arcane races throng the gloom beneath its chimneys, where the rivers are sluggish with unnatural effluent, and factories and foundries pound into the night. For more than a thousand years, the parliament and its brutal militia have ruled over a vast array of workers and artists, spies, magicians, junkies and whores. Now a stranger has come, with a pocketful of gold and an impossible demand, and inadvertently something unthinkable is released. Soon the city is gripped by an alien terror - and the fate of millions depends on a clutch of outcasts on the run from lawmakers and crime-lords alike. The urban nightscape becomes a hunting ground as battles rage in the shadows of bizarre buildings. And a reckoning is due at the city's heart, in the vast edifice of Perdido Street Station. It is too late to escape. 'A work of exhaustive inventiveness...superlative fantasy' Time Out 'A well-written, authentically engrossing adventure story, exuberantly full of hocus-pocus... Mieville does not disappoint' Daily Telegraph

This book was my companion on our many shinkansen rides while in Japan, and I finally finished it up today. Right up there with the best world-building novels I've read. New Crobuzon is a rotting, festering, open-sore of a city, a sprawling slum where both futuristic and primitive, steampunk-like technology rub shoulders with surreal scientific disciplines that border on magic. Reminds me a little of Gene Wolfe, esoteric vocabulary included.

eeclayton I DNF'd this after about 200 pages, I just couldn't face 600 more pages of this weirdness. But I agree the world building is one of a kind. 11mo
The_Penniless_Author @eeclayton It is an unrelentingly grim, gruesome place, I'll give you that. Certainly not the fictional setting I'd choose to live in. I wasn't surprised to learn that Mieville is an avowed anti-capitalist. New Crobuzon is basically what you would get in end-stage capitalism, where people are just resources to be exploited. Pretty dark and gross at times, for sure! 11mo

🎧 I read this based on a recommendation. It‘s well written! The world is realllly interesting & well defined!

The narrator was good but I think reading the book might have given me a better experience as I never connected or loved/hated any of the characters.

The world is fantastically strange! Don‘t investigate. Read it for that!!

This epic fantasy is a wild and wondrous ride, fully deserving of the many awards it has garnered. I was fully immersed in a steam-powered world shared by humans, bird people, insect people, frog people, cactus people and conscious metal constructs, and their love, loyalties and betrayals. 24 hours in audiobook, superbly performed by John Lee.

KathyWheeler I‘ve had this book for years but haven‘t read it. I bought it right after I read The City and the City, which I love. 1y
Lindy @KathyWheeler I read the City and the City years ago and loved it too. I‘m glad I finally got to this one. 😊 1y

Finding this much easier to get into than any other Mieville book - it usually takes a couple of chapters for my brain to synch with his writing style. The story is just as compelling as other Mieville books, but I'm finding the lead protagonist almost entirely unlikeable. Interesting that the non-human character, Lyn, feels much more likeable and sympathetic than the human character Isaac - who is a dick.

My time so far for the #JoyousJanuary #readathon is not great. So busy with The Great Library Clean plus spending time with my grandsons that reading has been put on the back burner😱I know. Bonus though is that once we‘re done,I‘ll be able to put my hands on any book that takes my fancy coz they‘ll be where they‘re supposed to be for a change! Taking a break from this really wordy SFF for now,might do a reread or a novella instead. #JumpStart2022

For the 2nd #WeekendReading of 2022 I‘m still working my way through Perdido Street Station, a Speculative Fiction set on the world of Bas-Lag in the city of New Crobuzon,a dingy metropolis peopled by numerous species from all over the galaxy.When a scientist unwittingly lets loose an alien terror, the city explodes with violence. It‘s a strange story but very compelling so far though not much reading was done today coz of The Great Library Clean!

Andrew65 Have a good weekend of reading. 2y

One hour into the #JoyousJanuary #readathon and I‘m only on Chapter Three.I‘m liking it but it‘s very word heavy so far “Lin‘s escapades-broadly hinted at, never denied, never made explicit-would be the subject of louche discussion and innuendo. Her love-life was an avant-garde transgression” So it‘s taking a bit more concentration to read but a lot of SciFi,especially classic SciFi, is like that.How are you doing in the first hour? #JumpStart2022

DrexEdit This one is well worth sticking with, if you can. Good Luck! 👍 2y

I really wanted to like this book, but every page was a struggle for me. I admit the world building was breathtaking, but it was like nothing but world building; and even after 200 pages, the wtf/page ratio was too high for my taste.
DNFed at 25%.

Perdido Street Station has been on my TBR for awhile now. This is due to both 1) so many books, too little time 2) trying to manage expectations (esp after Miéville floored me with his short story collection Three Moments of an Explosion). Whenever I do dive in I'm sure that I will meet characters who are as #marvelous as the strange world of Bas-Lag where it takes place. #maycharacters @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Maybe it was just me, maybe I missed something important somewhere along the way, but I couldn't keep track of what was going on half the time even when I tried going back over sections. It felt to me more like a series of short stories haphazardly strapped together and roughly attached to a central plot than a cohesive book.

TCLinrow The characters were good, and the writing itself was beautifully prosaic at times, which was something of a saving grace for the story for me at least, but there just was something missing for me and the whole thing was just foggy. 3y

Wow, what an experience! I've only ever heard the name of the book, but had no clue about it. Happily I've finally read it!

This book is special, different. It's dark, it's touching, it's though, it's soft. I never knew what would happen next. The city is fascinating, the characters are das, the plot is fascinating.

What I missed in the German edition was a glossary, but at least it had a cool map 🗺

My area is experiencing an invasion of moths right now (good info at https://extension.colostate.edu/docs/pubs/insect/millermoths.pdf). My cat, who thinks moths are fun, is delighted, but the humans not so much.

Meanwhile I'm having a sudden urge to reread Perdido Street Station, a book about terrifying, giant evil moths.

Kicking off my #MarchBookHaul which was also my #BirthdayBookHaul with a classic SF novel which was recommended when I searched for books like Neuromancer by William Gibson. Isaac is an eccentric scientist in the city of New Crobuzon, spending his life working on his research. But then the Garuda, a half human half bird creature comes to him with a request, and Isaac can‘t resist his curiosity, not realising what it will unleash.

A reread for me: Miéville never disappoints! Meeting Issac and Lin, Yagharek and Derkhan, while sinking into the steampunk world of New Crobuzon thrilled me as much as I remembered it did the 1st time. I was equal parts horrified, entranced, and enthralled with Miéville‘s writing. Can‘t wait to reread The Scar so that I can read the third book of the trilogy, The Iron Council, for the first time! Fantastic mix of scifi, fantasy, and horror! 5/5⭐️

A disgruntled scientist and his allies—including a de-winged hawkperson, steampunk cyborgs, a bug-headed artist, and a badger—all tackle a corrupt government. And nightmarish dream-eating insects. Also robot mobsters, the Ambassador of Hell, swashbuckling mantis-armed bandits, shapeless horrors, and Devices That Tamper With the Stuff of Reality. An absolute blast

This book grabbed me and had me hooked from the first paragraph. The world building was fantastic and was probably my favorite aspect of the novel. The city actually felt like a real place. I loved the first half. The second half dragged at times and I found some of the characters and aspects of the plot a bit lacking, but this was still a great read.

Brilliant. Fantastic. Horrifying. Mesmerizing (some of the characters might say literally). Compelling. And on & on & on. Miéville has created one of the most intriguing & unusual worlds I‘ve ever read & populated it with a cast of characters who defy expectations. Isaac is a brilliant scientist. He‘s approached by a half-man/half-bird creature who asks for help & so the story begins. What happens next makes for a most excellent read. Recommended.

This book is so fantastically weird. It‘s also a book you pick up to read a few pages only to find yourself so completely absorbed in the story when next you look up it‘s hard to reorient yourself. I love it when a writer can do that as it is no easy thing to completely disconnect a reader from their own situation. Is this book for everyone? Probably not. But for those who are up for pushing boundaries & some adventurous reading, definitely!
