Critics Review
[ Mercury Station] harks back to the heyday of such New Wave giants as J. G. Ballard, as well as such glorious eccentrics as Ursula K. Le Guin, John Calvin Batchelor, and Philip K. Dick, while shooting off stylistic fireworks reminiscent of Vladimir Nabokov. […] von Schlegell addresses the realities of a grim future with grace, humor, and intellectual honesty.
