Abstract
In my article, I will analyze The City and the City by China Mieville and argue that it contains an original interplay of various literary and aesthetic conventions. This novel by Mieville is actually a sort of a junction of different genres, traditions, and literary contexts, which above all addresses the problem of a transition between epistemology and ontology. In fact, the question whether the novel is organized by an epistemological dominant or an ontological one remains open. Consequently, even the reader’s position is unclear (or undecided) while s/he is forced to re-define his or her “horizon of expectations” again and again.
