Chronicle Supposing Books Railsea

On board the moletrain Medes, Sham Yes ap Soorap watches in awe as he witnesses his first moldywarpe hunt: the giant mole bursting from the earth, the harpoonists targeting their prey, the battle resulting in one’s death and the other’s glory. But no matter how spectacular it is, Sham can't shake the sense that there is more to life than traveling the endless rails of the railsea–even if his captain can think only of the hunt for the ivory-coloured mole she’s been chasing since it took her arm all those years ago. When they come across a wrecked train, at first it's a welcome distraction. But what Sham finds in the derelict—a series of pictures hinting at something, somewhere, that should be impossible—leads to considerably more than he'd bargained for. Soon he's hunted on all sides, by pirates, trainsfolk, monsters and salvage-scrabblers. And it might not be just Sham's life that's about to change. It could be the whole of the railsea.

From China Miéville comes a novel for readers of all ages, a gripping and brilliantly imagined take on Herman Melville's Moby-Dick that confirms his status as "the most original and talented voice to appear in several years." (Science Fiction Chronicle)

Column Epithetical Books Railsea

"This is the story of a bloodstained boy." That's the first line of this strange and fantastical tale of giant creatures that "swim" in the earth's soil and the brave and flawed "molers" who chase them for profit and life purpose. Mieville has created a dystopian world covered in railway ties with skies poisoned by chemicals and filled with monstrous, alien creatures who feast on those who get too close. But, there may just be something beyond the rails, if the characters in this story are

How can China Mieville fit so much imagination into his closely-shaven head? The man's potential appears boundless. Since he exploded onto the scene with Perdido Street Station,each new work has broken new ground in so many different directions. It's mind-bogggling that the author of The City and the Cityand Embassytown can produce this chimera of Romanticism, steampunk, dystopiana, with sprinklings of pirates,a soupcon of Robinson Crusoe, & of course an obssessed & (possibly) maimed

Leave it to China Miéville to write a young adult novel and so obfuscate his intentions (via complex vocabulary, a tricky literary style, dense prose, measured pacing, a total lack of plot threads about which boy is cuter) that I've had more than one conversation with youth librarians here on Goodreads who swear up and down that this isn't a young adult book. My evidence is, of course, rather shaky at best: the publisher says so, and why should I complain, because that means the hardcover costs

Ive only really enjoyed on China Miéville novel (The City and the City) but I am a fan of what he does for literature and speculative fiction. His latest novel Railsea is his second attempt at a YA novel and while Ive not read his other YA novel Un Lun Dun I must say I wasnt really impressed with this one. I really loved the complexity of The City and the City so I was looking forward to see Miévilles take on Moby-Dick. Granted I should have read Moby Dick before this book but I found this book

I've only read one book by China Mieville, but I've heard many good things about his writing from many smart people. So I grabbed this book when I was away at a convention and needed something to read. But Honestly? I'm not sure how I felt about it. It was well-written. And it was clever. It made me chuckle in certain places. There was interesting, even unique worldbuilding.... But I just don't know. I feel like I *want* to like it more than I actually did like it. It might simply be an issue of



Thank you, China Miéville. Thank you. Thank you! In the last week & a half, full of 14-hour work days, lack of sleep, physical & mental exhaustion & near-constant feeling of overwhelmed inadequacy CM provided me with the sanctuary of a few precious hours when none of that mattered, when I was completely under the spell of this weirdly fascinating, ridiculous but engrossing universe, when I felt that Miéville's boundless imagination has given me a safe haven where I could breathe
