Sooo rewarding to suspect Meiville was intentionally doing something metaphorically Train-related by his continuous use of ampersands instead of "and" & I get a whole chapter talking about how right and smart I specifically am thank you China

"Cave had a lot of dark in it. It was full up with shadow. & something else. Something that, blaring that noise, suddenly & loud & awful, came out. I won't call it a train. Trains, in all their varieties, are machines made for carrying us. This was for nothing but itself. It came out of that hole in silver fire."

Did not plan to read this at the same time as Moby Dick but the serendipity is working in overdrive. I’m getting the source themes and the wild thrice-removed deconstruction at the same time, while also being distinctly different experiences. Love my M**villes

Mieville's writing style is great, and very distinct. It feels good to return to it
