Tim Pratt reviews The Etched City for Locus April 2003. An extract from the review:

The Etched City is a brilliant first novel, with a fascinating, inventive setting reminiscent of Jeffrey Ford’s Well-Built City books, Jeff VanderMeer’s Ambergris stories, and even China Miéville’s decadent cityscape from Perdido Street Station. The plot, with its stories-within-stories and its offhand descriptions of wonders and prodigies, brings to mind the works of Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges, and Bishop’s prose, at its best, justifies those comparisons as well.

Jeff VanderMeer reviews The Etched City on Amazon:

Bishop has written an accomplished and brave first novel that doesn’t pull punches. The novel gets stranger — and more strangely beautiful — as it progresses, until the reader is completely trapped by it (in a blissful way). The praise on the back of the book from Jeffrey Ford, Liz Williams, and others is well-deserved. I think this author will go from strength to strength and would not be surprised to see her second novel published by a mass-market publisher.

Maldoror Abroad and another story, The Memorial Page have been accepted, repectively, by the Serbian magazines Znak Sagite and Polaris.
