Settling the World: Selected Stories - Paperback

by M. John Harrison (Author)

This selection of stories, drawn from over 50 years of writing, is replete with fissures and portals into parallel dimensions, and follows backstreet occultists, amateur philosophers, down-and-outs or refugees. Throughout his career, M. John Harrison's writing has defied categorisation, building worlds both unreal and all-too real, overlapping and interlocking with each other.
