This might be the best thing he's ever written. He is clearly in control of his powers like never before, the whole thing might be about Ricoeur, and he still gets to revel in all the gorgeous concreteness of the Bas-Lag books. Plus, the coolest reimagining of hyperspace I've every seen (literarily speaking), some great subtle stuff about gender and sex politics, and a great sense of my favorite vein of 70s SF.
