Blish writes with really powerful language that's deceptively simple and there's something arresting about his language that made me slow way down. You can tell that he's done his homework you can tell that this is someone who has read widely and read thoroughly and really takes his craft seriously and has produced what in lesser hands would just be a throwaway piece of supermarket pulp but is verging on being a work of real hardcore literary and philosophical value.
