China Miéville's The City& ytiC ehT: From Ontological Mystery to Metaphysical Detective Story

Abstract: 

Miéville's The City & ytiC ehT (2009) postulates two cities occupying the same physical space, develops the psycho-social subjectivities required of their inhabitants, and turns a Chandleresque murder investigation into a genre-bending ontological mystery which segues into a metaphysical detective story.
