Subject: (urth) VanderMeer's City of Saints

Just a few words about Jeff VanderMeer's extraordinary
book CITY OF SAINTS & MADMEN, now available in
hardcover (Prime Books). The hardcover, a major
expansion of last year's trade paperback version, is
ideal reading for anyone who likes Wolfe--aside from
the very high quality of the writing, there are enough
unreliable narrators, books within books, disguised
storylines, embedded stories, and metafictional tricks
to satisfy 5HC and NEW SUN admirers. Plus Byzantine
inspiration in common.
