Stylistically interesting? I don't know, it seems like a rehash of Dead Girls, but in a much more trite kind of way. Part of this probably has to do with the fact that I was speedreading parts during the middle, but I can't tell if Calder's deliberately trying to parallel Ignatz & Primavera with Tarquin & Dahlia. If the two books were unrelated, I'd say yes, but since Madame Kito and Mosquito are in both, I'm ... not really sure ..... what .... to .... think.

I never read anything by R. Calder and I have to say I liked the style of this one; weird, and not making full sense from time to time, Cythera is a very interesting mix of not-quite-cyberpunk, multiple-realities and all around strangeness; not for the easily offended though

most innovative new writing style I have discovered in quite some time. Calder reads like some strange mixture of William S. Burroughs and Neal Stephenson. Sexy and Evil with mucho futuristic content and bizaire prose.
