The Etched City

The Etched City is a story about a deteriorating, tropical city whose denizens include the monstrous, the deranged, and the metamorphic, circling each other in rainy alleys and hot cafes. It’s been lauded as an intelligent and alluring novel. Bishop has been compared flatteringly with Mieville and Moorcock. While The Etched City certainly has plenty of brains and courage, it may be missing its heart.
