Christopher Priest

[Eventine]

I just read Inverted World. It was the first genre book I've read in quite a while, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a lot more straightforward than typical Priest, but I don't think it's poorer for it.

Good to see people are still reading CP's books!

Glad you enjoyed Inverted World, Eventine. It's very entertaining but his other books go further into the unique sense of wonder he creates. His new book should be out next summer...

On a related note, I just read The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster - I'm not quite sure which book came first but in content, if not context, it's very much like Priest's The Affirmation and just as good. Absolutely recommended, and even though from the cover it looks deceptively like a standard detective novel, it's much more than that.

Whilst I'm passing through, Christopher's website's always full of interesting points. Never afraid to give an opinion! Might be worth a look, if you haven't already seen it: http://www.christopher-priest.co.uk/
