Late last week I finished China Mieville’s latest,
\nThe City &
\nytiC ehT<\/a><\/i>. TC & CT<\/i> is a detective story,
\nbut
\nit’s not just any detective story (what
\nMieville calls
\na "police procedural"<\/a>). In terms of theoretical richness, this one holds
\neven with Perdido Street Station<\/i> and The Scar<\/i>. Mieville creates a
\npair of cities fraught with boundary in.discretions. Citizens from Beszel and Ul
\nQoma pass by each other every day, but as they do so they must unsee people and
\nthings from the other city. Even where the borders become confusing
\noverlaps, in cross-hatched zones likely to draw heavy traffic from autos and
\npedestrians, unseeing remains a necessary tactic (sort of the opposite of
\npanoptic conditioning; unseeing here as deliberate, uneasy negligence).
\nPolitical, jurisdictional consequences are of course tied to this cities-wide
\ncondition. Within this intricate third-spacious scene, Mieville works up a novel
\nthat jets along with surprising acceleration: mystery elements, hazy figures,
\nand ethereal domains, also detective work that relies on the knowledge available
\neven while deliberately unseeing and smudge<\/i>-remembering what is present
\n(that is, a kind of audiovisually unconfirmed felt sense).<\/p>\n

I’d say more, but I already returned the copy to
\nCollin<\/a>, who both recommended it and lent
\nit to me, and since it was a borrowed copy, no margin notes, no dog-eared pages.
\nBut this entry is to say, pick it up. It’s a lively, quick read, very much the
\nsort of thing you still have time for even if you feel summer fading to fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
