 A great event in New York the other night at Soho's finest, McNally Jackson, talking with James Surowiecki of the New Yorker.

 I didn't take any pictures at the UK launch party for Gods Without Men, held in London back in August. @joethepublicist just sent this pic of me and China Mieville. If anyone has more, send them through. 

 Advance Reader Copies of the Knopf edition of Gods Without Men just arrived. Here are the two covers (UK and US) side by side.

2008. The California desert. A four year old boy disappears in the wilderness and his parents find themselves at the centre of a media witch-hunt. A British rock star hides out at a run-down motel. A teenage Iraqi refugee lives a surreal life as a role-player in a military simulation.
