China Mieville, scholar of fantastic genres, scholar of international law, Marxist, and leading fantasy-fiction writer of the contemporary British Boom, breaches the hegemonic insistence that only rational explanations and representations of failure can compel us to imagine flourishing alternatives to capitalism. Incantatory, hallucinatory, mystical moments infuse Mieville's stories and scholarship, which are otherwise rationally structured, despite or because of the monstrous and magical contents. His dream-poetics intimate and anticipate a useful and pleasurable collective shift in revolutionary consciousness and praxis, marked not only by cognition but also by emotion. Aesthetically and intellectually, his is a socialism of the brain, of the heart, of the body, a poetry of the misbegot.
