Readers bemused but hooked by China Miéville's The Rouse

Readers are discussing China Miéville's novel The Rouse, with one admitting that after five hours of the forty-hour audiobook they are enjoying it despite having no idea what is happening. The remark captures Miéville's trademark dense, disorienting style, which fans often describe as confusing but rewarding, and has struck a chord with fellow readers sharing their own experiences.
Why now: Miéville's deliberately confusing prose style is a familiar talking point among fans starting his demanding long-form fiction.
