Thanks, rich! / (np) the city and the city

[Erik T. Burns]

I read the Mieville book a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Maybe
he overworked the whole "two cities" thing (it seemed to go on and on and
on) but it was cleverly done and reminded me not only of Blade Runner and
other bits of the Dickiverse but also Borges (mainly because of the funny
names for things, but also the inventive languages).

I did not know there had been a series made of it for TV, will see if I
have a way of watching that.

So thanks for mentioning it!
