Voici un article sur China Miéville suite à son prix au BSFA award pour son roman (inédit chez nous) : The City and the City .

C'est ici.

Je vous mets le début :
"China Miéville's story of a murder investigation in parallel worlds, The City and the City, has won the British Science Fiction Association's award for best novel – the first in what could be a slew of genre prizes to come its way this year.

Miéville's novel, in which Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad attempts to solve the case of a murdered woman in the city of Beszél, a decaying metropolis existing in the same space as the city of Ul Qoma, has also been shortlisted for the Hugo best novel award and the Arthur C Clarke prize for the best science fiction novel of the year. Over the weekend, it was voted best novel by members of the British Science Fiction Association, ahead of Adam Roberts's Yellow Blue Tibia, Ursula K Le Guin's historical fantasy Lavinia and previous winner Stephen Baxter's apocalyptic Ark.

"I don't think this is the last award it will win this year," said Niall Harrison, editor of the BSFA's journal, Vector. "What I admire about The City and the City is its deep but generous intelligence. Its representation of urban experience is one of those rare, inspired fantastical conceits that you really do take with you when you finish reading.""
