Kurzbiographie: Jeff VanderMeer (born July 7, 1968) is an American author, editor, and literary critic. Initially associated with the New Weird literary genre, VanderMeer crossed over into mainstream success with his bestselling Southern Reach Trilogy. The trilogy's first novel, Annihilation, won the Nebula and Shirley Jackson Awards, and was adapted into a Hollywood film by director Alex Garland. Among VanderMeer's other novels are Shriek: An Afterword and Borne. He has also edited with his wife Ann VanderMeer such influential and award-winning anthologies as The New Weird, The Weird, and The Big Book of Science Fiction.

VanderMeer has been called "one of the most remarkable practitioners of the literary fantastic in America today," with The New Yorker naming him the "King of Weird Fiction". VanderMeer's fiction is noted for eluding genre classifications even as his works bring in themes and elements from genres such as postmodernism, ecofiction, the New Weird and post-apocalyptic fiction.

VanderMeer's writing has been described as "evocative" and containing "intellectual observations both profound and disturbing," and has been compared with the works of Jorge Luis Borges, Franz Kafka, and Henry David Thoreau.

Rezensionen

Borne von Jeff VanderMeer

When I bought this book at City Books in Brighton while being there on vacation the week before Easter, I was mainly attracted by (1) the very colourful and pleasing cover and (2) Jeff VanderMeer's name (I had read Annihilation last summer - coincidently also bought while on vacation in the UK).
I didn't really know what to expect.
What I found was a unique story of a kind of patchwork family in a post-apocalyptic city (not particularly novel) ruled by a giant flying bear (very unusual) and a Magician. Strange biotech everywhere.
Is this Fantasy, Science-Fiction, all of it? Does it matter?
The ending worked for me although it leaves some things unanswered - which somehow reminds me of Annihilation. I guess if you liked Annihilation's writing style, you will also like Borne.
This was my second book by Jeff and I read both in English - which I do with a lot of novels - but have to admit it was not always easy. This is no critism of the language used, I just felt I couldn't fully appreciate all the details of the prose. Maybe I need to reread this one as a German translation or grab a German copy of Jeff's next book - which I surely will be looking forward to.… (mehr)
