À propos de cette écoute
New York Times best-selling author China Miéville delivers his most accomplished novel yet, an existential thriller set in a city unlike any other, real or imagined.
When a murdered woman is found in the city of Beszel, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks to be a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad. But as he investigates, the evidence points to conspiracies far stranger and more deadly than anything he could have imagined.
Borlú must travel from the decaying Beszel to the only metropolis on Earth as strange as his own. This is a border crossing like no other, a journey as psychic as it is physical, a shift in perception, a seeing of the unseen. His destination is Beszel's equal, rival, and intimate neighbor, the rich and vibrant city of Ul Qoma.
With Ul Qoman detective Qussim Dhatt, and struggling with his own transition, Borlú is enmeshed in a sordid underworld of rabid nationalists intent on destroying their neighboring city, and unificationists who dream of dissolving the two into one. As the detectives uncover the dead woman's secrets, they begin to suspect a truth that could cost them and those they care about more than their lives.
What stands against them are murderous powers in Beszel and in Ul Qoma: and, most terrifying of all, that which lies between these two cities.
Casting shades of Kafka and Philip K. Dick, Raymond Chandler and 1984, The City & The City is a murder mystery taken to dazzling metaphysical and artistic heights.

My first audible experience and it got me hooked
I won't talk much about Mieville. The great number of prizes he received are testament enough to his talent. The city & the city is another great book and again, you'll find better critiques of it than I could ever write, but in short: I recommend it..
I just want to recommend this "instance" of the book, the reader's interpretation is immersive while being discrete. Of course, I don't have much experience with audio book, most of what I listened was from a while ago or radio theater. This is different: the reader is never off the top, he's interpreting each line, but never breaking the rhythm of the lecture. It might seem obvious for audio books veterans, but for me it was an eye opener and I'm now looking for the next listen.
