![China Miéville on Writing, Creative Influence, and Genre
Pre-Order The Rouse: https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/china-mieville/the-rouse/9781509847396
From Sunday Times bestselling author of fiction and non-fiction, China Miéville is back with his deeply moving, decade- and continent-spanning epic of grief, global tumult, and grim conspiracy, The Rouse.
Maur’s life has been shaped by an unbearable loss. But in the aftermath of what is an apparently ordinary tragedy, deeper, stranger questions arise . . . Their answers may lie within the dark heart and darker history of an old soldier who shares Maur’s obsessions – and is violently pursued by the same unknown, unquiet forces.
So begins The Rouse, a masterpiece unlike any other: at once a sprawling saga of the bloody twentieth century, and the intimate story of two lives, their loves, regrets and secrets – and a terrifying journey into infinite mystery.
