China Mieville's Rejectamentalist Manifesto

China Mieville appears to have started a blog here.

Zip Returns

I've said before that M John Harrison belongs to the people. So many thanks to Paul Raven at Velcro City (permanent link to the right) for this excellent news.

Spam

I've started getting spam comments on the blog (hence the removal of a couple). I don't look back down the old stuff all that much, so there may be more.

The reasons I thought these two were spam were (1) the first was entirely in Spanish and seemed to mention money (2) the second was from someone I'd never heard of who was delighted to meet me at the airport the other day (I haven't flown in the past three months) and pointed me at her website.

Is it a compliment to get drivel added to your site?

On the subject of blogs and their usefulness, or otherwise, can we start a campaign to get Uncle Zip's Window back up?

I know Mike has to earn a living and all that, but I really think folk ought to camp out in Barnes with placards saying "M John Harrison belongs to the people".
