Praise for The City in the Middle of the Night

“A breathtaking work of imagination and storytelling… making the case for Anders as this generation’s Le Guin.”

―Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less

“An even stronger novel than Anders’ Nebula Award–winning All the Birds in the Sky; a tale that can stand beside such enduring works as Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness, Frank Herbert’s Dune, and Dan Simmons’ Hyperion.”

Booklist, starred review

“Anders contains multitudes; it’s always a fascinating and worthwhile surprise to see what she comes up with next.”

Kirkus, starred review

“An intricate tale of colonialism and evolution on both physical and social levels. Stunningly storytelling that will capture readers’ minds and hearts.”

Library Journal, starred review

“Intricate, embracing much of what makes a grand adventure: smugglers, revolutionaries, pirates, camaraderie, personal sacrifice, wondrous discovery, and the struggle to find light in the darkness. Breathlessly exciting and thought-provoking.”

Publishers Weekly, starred review

“The kind of didactic, intelligent, critical fiction that interrogates the boundaries of our current moment through broad-scope questions… I couldn’t recommend it more.”

Tor.com

“A stunning novel.”

―Edan Lepucki, author of Woman No. 17

“A wildly inventive, inventively radical, radically subtle rush of a novel.”

―Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler’s Wife

“Like a classic from another timeline… This book has notes of Ursula K. Le Guin and Philip Pullman.”

―Robin Sloan, author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore

The City in the Middle of the Night does everything right. I f―ing love this book. It is really, really breathtaking.”

―Daveed Diggs, Grammy and Tony Award winning actor

“A tale that unfolds with precision, presenting wholly original ideas, new and beautiful life forms, and chillingly extrapolated and corrupt societies. I highly recommend [it].”

―Anthony Rapp, Broadway star
