Cleaning

Posted in Uncategorized at 11:47 am by pronoiac

I’m moving much of my audio over to Amazon S3. Old links should keep working.  I’ll check before I change the links & I’ll keep an eye out for breakage, but if I miss anything, please let me know!

China Miéville, 2007-02-28

Posted in audio recording at 3:26 pm by pronoiac

From the archives, but previously unpublished: This is an old, lo-fi recording of a China Miéville Q&A from a couple of years ago, as part of his tour for Un Lun Dun, at the Fourth St. Berkeley location of Cody’s, now closed & dearly missed.

Listing the questions made it seem somehow less engaging, so I’ll leave those out, with the exception of a hard-to-hear reference: When he talks about his reading material, he mentions the story of Saki (the pen name of H.H. Munro) called Sredni Vashtar.

His latest book, The City & the City, is being published this month.

Download the MP3 – 38 minutes, 36 megabytes, 128 kbps.

I’m posting this at a new subdomain; let me know if it doesn’t work for you.
