China Mieville’s new novel The City & The City will be released on May 26. [Here is a video](http://www.spike.com/video/border-crime-city/3154599) of him talking about the plot for the book, which is some sort of byzantine police procedural. It doesn’t take place in Bas Lag, but it definitely sounds interesting.
