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From the archives, but previously unpublished: This is an old, lo-fi recording of a China Miéville Q&A from a couple of years ago, as part of his tour for Un Lun Dun, at the Fourth St. Berkeley location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