520    A thriller of war that never was—of survival in an 
       impossible city—of surreal cataclysm. In The Last 
       Days of New Paris, China Miéville entwines true historical
       events and people with his daring, uniquely imaginative 
       brand of fiction, reconfiguring history and art into 
       something new.  "Beauty will be convulsive. . . ."  1941. 
       In the chaos of wartime Marseille, American engineer&
       #8212;and occult disciple—Jack Parsons stumbles onto
       a clandestine anti-Nazi group, including Surrealist 
       theorist André Breton. In the strange games of the 
       dissident diplomats, exiled revolutionaries, and avant-
       garde artists, Parsons finds and channels hope. But what 
       he unwittingly unleashes is the power of dreams and 
       nightmares, changing the war and the world forever.  1950.
       A lone Surrealist fighter, Thibaut, walks a new, 
       hallucinogenic Paris, where Nazis and the Resistance are 
       trapped in unending conflict, and the streets are stalked 
       by living images and texts—and by the forces of 
       Hell. To escape the city, he must join forces with Sam, an
       American photographer intent on recording the ruins, and 
       make common cause with a powerful, enigmatic figure of 
       chance and rebellion: the exquisite corpse.  But Sam is 
       being hunted. And new secrets will emerge that will test 
       all their loyalties—to each other, to Paris old and 
       new, and to reality itself.  Praise for China Miéville  
       "[Miéville's] wit dazzles, his humour is lively, and the 
       pure vitality of his imagination is astonishing."&
       #8212;Ursula K. Le Guin, The Guardian, on Three Moments of
       an Explosion   "Dark and thought-provoking."—The San
       Diego Union-Tribune, on The City & The City  "Richly 
       conceived."—The New York Times Book Review, on 
       Embassytown   "Miéville more than delivers."—San
