China Miéville Suggest 5 New Literary Movements

17 Jun 2009

Omnivoracious, the Amazon book blog, has a post by China Miéville where he suggests five new literary movements that haven't happened yet. They're all of a genre leaning, as you may expect from China. He says:

...I thought we could save a bit of time by naming a few movements in advance, then writing books to fit. That way we could start arguing about them without having to wait through those tiresome publication schedules.

The post is very witty, probably prophetic (scarily) and contains words I had to look up.

I feel a Zombiefail '09-ism story coming on...
