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. --Nick Gevers.
