Publisher Description
This essay considers how the monsters work in Mieville's celebrated Bas-Lag trilogy--Perdido Street Station (2000), The Scar (2002) and Iron Council (2005)--and in doing so will defend the texts against the charges, often brought against fantasy, of being more expressive than critical, and of being ethical (or ethically reductive) rather than political. Both aims are best approached through an initial description of the trilogy's specific generic difference. Steampunk and Weird Fiction
