On Bedside Table of William Gibson: Zoo City by Lauren Beukes

The following snippet is just too good to ignore. In an interview with Anna Metcalfe, William Gibson admits to keeping a copy of Lauren Beukes‘ Zoo City on his bedside table. Astute readers will recall that Gibson provides a well-deserved shout-out on Zoo City‘s front cover, where he maintains that Beukes is “very, *very* good”.
