I liked the intro to the first site. I think the music was by Ofra Haza. China's site at the BBC. Including a short interview www.bbc.co.uk/arts/books/author/mieville/

I agree about the music - but it says on the site the track is "I am Your Garden" by "Nanobeat". After some research i've found the artist is also called "The High Priestess" and "Regan". Check out some samples here: artists.mp3s.com/artists/142/nanobeat.html

( @ Doul I think you are correct, we would should collate all the interview links into a separate thread and have another thread for fan sites and China's own )

Interview excerpts from Locus magazine.

A taste.

‘‘The idea of consolatory fantasy makes me want to puke. It's not that you can't have comfort, or even a happy ending of sorts, but to me the idea that the purpose of a book should be to console intrinsically means the purpose is therefore not to challenge or to subvert or to question; it is absolutely status quo oriented – completely, rigidly, aesthetically – and I hate that idea. I think the best fantasy is about the rejection of consolation"
