Flabbergasted

To be published in July. Good to know I can still be surprised, because I did not expect this collaboration ???‍?

"Deftly combining the blockbuster instincts of Keanu Reeves with the cerebral literary style of China Mieville, The Book of Elsewhere tells the compelling story of US special forces operative B through two intertwining plot strands."

RaeLovesToRead It's like when Shaggy teamed up with Sting... 🤯 1y

AlaMich I was a bit taken aback by this collab my self. 1y

Leniverse @RaeLovesToRead 🤣 🤣🤣 1y

TrishB I‘m hoping for a book signing tour. 1y

Megabooks That does sound like an interesting collaboration! 1y

Leniverse @TrishB Ok, yes, that would be something 😂 1y

julesG @TrishB I would queue for this 1y

TrishB @julesG I‘ll save you a space! 1y

julesG @TrishB perfect. I'll bring tea and a folding chair. 🤣🤣 1y

batsy Omg, how did I not know about this? @TrishB yes please and it needs to be a global tour 😁🤞🏾 1y

TrishB @batsy I think I‘ll volunteer to be tour manager! 1y

Leniverse Ok, so it appears that they are not so much writing it together as China Mieville has written a novelisation of Keanu's graphic novel series BRZRKR. Which I also hadn't heard of. @RaeLovesToRead @AlaMich @TrishB @Megabooks @julesG 1y

RaeLovesToRead So more like Sting singing Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me" at a wedding? 1y

Leniverse @RaeLovesToRead 😆🤣 Now I'm getting flashbacks to Sting, Puff Daddy and Faith Evans performing the I'll Be Missing You/Every Breath You Take mashup. 1y

RaeLovesToRead I... have not seen this. But I shall be googling it 1y

Leniverse @RaeLovesToRead It was a memorial to Notorious B.I.G at the MTV awards. Before your time. But yes, watch it. It's like... supposed to be super sad but I challenge you not to laugh when P Diddy starts dancing. Or even just at his 90s pose and white suit. 1y

julesG The Firstborn read the GN and wasn't impressed. He'd give it 2.5/5 stars. 1y

Leniverse @julesG I keep coming back to the question of why China Mieville has done this. He must have seen something in the GN that made him excited about the project. 🤨 1y

julesG The name of the co-author? 1y
