Im Book Club wird es wieder tentakelig, wir lesen "Kraken" von China Miéville:
Winner of the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel, Kraken is a darkly comic, wildly absurd adventure by author of Perdido Street Station, China Miéville.
Deep in the research wing of the Natural History Museum is a prize specimen, something that comes along much less often than once in a lifetime: a perfect, and perfectly preserved, giant squid. But what does it mean when the creature suddenly and impossibly disappears?
For curator Billy Harrow it's the start of a headlong pitch into a London of warring cults, surreal magic, apostates and assassins. It might just be that the creature he's been preserving is more than a biological rarity: there are those who are sure it's a god.
A god that someone is hoping will end the world.
Wir werden das Buch in vier Terminen besprechen (25.2., 11.3., 25.3. und 8.4.25). Das Buch erschien auch auf deutsch unter dem Titel "Der Kraken" erschienen, allerdings nur noch gebraucht erhältlich.
Wie immer gilt: alle sind herzlich willkommen, wir freuen uns auch über neue Gesichter. Bei Fragen oder Kommentaren gerne bei Jens oder Antonia via Forum oder Discord-Server der dLG melden, oder via Mail an bookclub@deutschelovecraftgesellschaft.de.
