Yes, I know, there isn’t any point in my directing you to Neil Gaiman’s blog. You all follow him anyway, right?

But maybe you didn’t read this entry. And you should have done, because Neil is talking about M. John Harrison, who is one of my favorite writers too.

There is, as I have already mentioned, and as you will discover, no consistency to Viriconium. Each time we return to it, it has changed, or we have. The nature of reality shifts and changes. The Viriconium stories are palimpsests, and other stories and other cities can be seen beneath the surface. Stories adumbrate other stories. Themes and characters reappear, like Tarot cards being shuffled and redealt.

Yes.

And yes, Viriconium is everywhere. Mostly because it is in our hearts and nagging at the edges of our minds.
