My brief but enthusiastic review of Kim Stanley Robinson's masterful alternate history novel, "The Years of Rice and Salt". Done for Toronto Public Library's 2010 "Keep Toronto Reading" site.

  • I saw this in the bookstore today and almost got it.....wish I had heard this review prior.

  • Years of Rice and Salt is far and away the best thing KSR has ever written; it's a very classic instance of an author doing what I call 'punching above their weight class;' Ender's Game is another good example of that. 'Years' is a hell of a lot better than either his Mars trilogy (merely 'good') or his climate-change trilogy (yawn-inducing); everything just ended up clicking in it. It's like reading an SM Stirling novel, only more polished and in-depth.
