Vurt: Vurt 1
Vurt: Vurt 1 | Jeff Noon
10 posts | 17 read | 11 to read
Winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, this is a brilliantly innovative and highly entertaining novel from a literary pioneer. The 20th Anniversary Edition with a foreword by Lauren Beukes and three fantastic new short stories, all set in the extraordinary world of Vurt. Take a trip in a stranger's head. Travel rain-shot streets with a gang of hip malcontents, hooked on the most powerful drug you can imagine. Yet Vurt feathers are not for the weak. As the mysterious Game Cat says, Be careful, be very careful. But Scribble isn't listening. He has to find his lost love. His journey is a mission to find Curious Yellow, the ultimate, perhaps even mythical Vurt feather. As the most powerful narcotic of all, Scribble must be prepared to leave his current reality behind.

This is a crazy romp of a book. The language is both raw and beautiful. I had to use the wiki glossary sometimes, but I can‘t move on if I don‘t know a word. This was not an easy read because it is a whole new world yet still our world. And some of the subject matter is rough. Drug addition, questionable relationships, abuse, and poverty. I still really liked it and they recommended as long as you can take it. It‘s not gory but it‘s intense.

RamsFan1963 Interesting to hear another point of view. I didn't care for the book myself, but I do agree that it was intense and the writing was raw. 6y

Ok to be honest Vurt is not an ebook so it‘s kind of awkward to hold on the toilet. 😜 I thought this was super funny so I wanted to share with you all. Happy Read A Book Day! 📖📚🎂

At GenCon I heard about this awesome book:Vurt by Jeff Noon. I wanted to get it, but it is older so no one had it at Con. When I got home I immediately tried to find it. I couldn‘t find it in ebook so I went to Amazon, but finally had to turn to eBay. I had to haggle with a seller, but I order it. I knew I was in for a wait, but when I saw where it shipped from I felt like the universe was playing a huge joke on me. It shipped from Indianapolis!

Possibly my favourite book of all time.
Cool, mind-bending and adventurous.
A cyberpunk landmark.

I participated in a Kickstarter and one of the rewards was a signed chapbook of stories by Jeff Noon set in the Vurt universe. Coolest. Thing. Ever. 😍

Generally not into SciFi but this book was just quirky and interesting enough that I remember it well, 15ish years after reading it. It's a TRIP for sure. Far different from the popular YA dystopias -- which are fun too, with my tween daughter. But Vurt's way weirder.
