CIMG3525 China Mieville answers the readers’ questions and chats with them about writing and politics at a kaffeeklatch at the Readercon 2006.

Things that were talked about: how wanting for a narrative to have a beginning, a middle and an ending is problematic, and how Mieville’s straining against those conventions is reflected in his story “Tain”, about how complex the question about one’s writing influences is, about China Mieville’s political involvement, and many smaller things.

Readercon was a literary speculative fiction convention that took place in Burlington, Massachusetts in July of 2006.
