An astonishing portrait of immortals fighting in an unending war against an Insect foe. She has an eye for details of lives that is reminiscent of Mervyn Peake. In fifty years' time people will be reading this book and talking about it the way we talk about Gormenghast.

James, thanks. That Bosch-y picture heading your blog is brilliant, by the way - whatever the hell it is, it's definitely galloped through from the Shift.
Let me know if you can't find a copy of The Modern World, OK? The publisher has sold out and amazon.co.uk has marked it as 'not in stock', wonderfully just in time for Christmas, but I know there are still copies in bookshops.
