Summary
La mítica novela en que se basa la nueva serie homónima de la BBC. Por una de las mayores voces de las letras anglosajonas del siglo XXI.

Galardonada con los premios Hugo, World Fantasy, BSFA, Locus y Arthur C. Clarke.

Originalmente publicada en 2009, La ciudad y la ciudad es la obra maestra que ha convertido a China Miéville en una de las mayores voces de las letras anglosajonas actuales en cualquier género, admirado por escritores de la talla de Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Neil Gaiman y Ursula K. Le Guin.

Bienvenidos a la historia de dos ciudades gemelas, invisibles la una para la otra, cuyos destinos se entrelazan por el asesinato de la joven Mahalia Geary, hallada muerta y con la cara desfigurada en la ciudad de Beszel.

Durante la investigación del crimen, el inspector Borlú seguirá las piras desde Beszel hasta la idéntica ciudad vecina, UI Qoma. Allí descubrirá la participación de la joven en una conspiración política y se verá rodeado de nacionalistas, que intentan destruir la ciudad gemela, y de unificacionistas, que sueñan con convertir las dos ciudades en una. Las verdades que el detective descubrirá sobre la separación de ambas urbes podrían constarle la vida.

China Miéville mezcla lo mejor de la ciencia ficción, la novela negra y el drama policial en una obra que rompe las costuras de tres géneros para convertirse en una obra de lectura absolutamente inolvidable.

A few I loved but the rest didn't excite me
Format: Paperback
I got this book because I wasn’t sure that I wanted a book of her complete poems. This one selects from each of her volumes of poetry (she was deceased at the time of its publication). I found that I almost exclusively liked poems from her book Diving into the Wreck, which won the National Book Award. So in the end, I came away from this volume not wanting to read her complete work but wanting to read Diving into the Wreck in its entirety. This pains me somewhat. I think of Adrienne Rich as a feminist ground-breaker and icon. I came away from this realizing I probably like her essays and books tackling how women are treated more than I like her poetry. I sensed in her reserve in her poetry, that she was not wanting to bring us entirely into the impetus of the poem, holding us at a bit of a distance and not being specific. While that isn’t true of all of her poetry, that’s the feel I was getting from much of it. One thing that struck me is that in this volume, there was little evidence of her voice as an activist. I don’t know if that’s true of her poetry in general or if it’s a result of the editorial choices in this volume. Most of the poetry was very much about relationship, about how people treat each other, whether individuals or groups. Not a lot of the poetry in this volume stuck with me. I would read it and then it was gone. Out of 400 pages of poetry, I marked only 12 poems. So I was disappointed that I didn’t connect more with Adrienne Rich’s poetry, especially since her poem “Diving into the Wreck” (from the book by the same name) is one of my favorite poems. I guess more evidence that I’m a fan of specific poems more than I’m a fan of poets.
