The Mitchell Mega-Mix

with 3 comments

Right, straight after I talked about David Mitchell’s key position as a non-genre writer, he writes his most genre work ever. So this is what his SF novel looks like to me:

  • A Hot Spell: Nina Allan
  • Myrrrh Is Mine: David Mitchell
  • New Year’s Day: Mitchell again. Ah yes, the only good bit of the book is the one he repeats.
  • The Wedding Bash: Iain Banks
  • Crispin Hersey’s Lonely Planet: Adam Roberts (although he won’t thank me).
  • An Horologist’s Labyrinth: Nick Harkaway
  • Sheep’s Head: Ken MacLeod
