Reviews
"[David] Mitchell is, clearly, a genius. He writes as though at the helm of some perpetual dream machine, can evidently do anything, and his ambition is written in magma across this novel's every page." -- The New York Times Book Review   "One of those how-the-holy-hell-did-he-do-it? modern classics that no doubt is--and should be--read by any student of contemporary literature." --Dave Eggers   "Wildly entertaining . . . a head rush, both action-packed and chillingly ruminative." -- People   "The novel as series of nested dolls or Chinese boxes, a puzzle-book, and yet--not just dazzling, amusing, or clever but heartbreaking and passionate, too. I've never read anything quite like it, and I'm grateful to have lived, for a while, in all its many worlds." --Michael Chabon   " Cloud Atlas  ought to make [Mitchell] famous on both sides of the Atlantic as a writer whose fearlessness is matched by his talent." -- The Washington Post Book World   "Thrilling . . .

It knits together science fiction, political thriller and historical pastiche with musical virtuosity and linguistic exuberance: there won't be a bigger, bolder novel next year." -Justine Jordan,Guardian, Preview of 2004 "David Mitchell is by no means a complete unknown, but I shall be very surprised if his next book, the sprawling and ambitiousCloud Atlasdoesn't propel him into the front rank of novelists. I only wish it had been there for this year's Man Booker judges to consider." -D J Taylor,Independent, Preview of 2004 "A daunting talent, adept with the global canvas, and able to move from the technological to the spiritual with supernatural ease." -Suzi Feay,Independent on Sunday, Preview of 2004 "Watch out forCloud Atlasby David Mitchell, a work of free-wheeling fantasy by a cutting-edge writer." -David Robson,Sunday Telegraph, Preview of 2004 Praise for David Mitchell: "Mitchell possesses an amazingly copious and eclectic imagination." -William Boyd "[Ghostwrittenis] one of the best first novels I've read for a long time. . . .

Synopsis
SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE * By the New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Clocks . . . One of the New York Times 's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century A postmodern visionary and one of the leading voices in twenty-first-century fiction, David Mitchell combines flat-out adventure, a Nabokovian love of puzzles, a keen eye for character, and a taste for mind-bending, philosophical and scientific speculation in the tradition of Umberto Eco, Haruki Murakami, and Philip K. Dick. The result is brilliantly original fiction as profound as it is playful. In this groundbreaking novel, an influential favorite among a new generation of writers, Mitchell explores with daring artistry fundamental questions of reality and identity. Cloud Atlas begins in 1850 with Adam Ewing, an American notary voyaging from the Chatham Isles to his home in California. Along the way, Ewing is befriended by a physician, Dr. Goose, who begins to treat him for a rare species of brain parasite. . . . Abruptly, the action jumps to Belgium in 1931, where Robert Frobisher, a disinherited bisexual composer, contrives his way into the household of an infirm maestro who has a beguiling wife and a nubile daughter. . . . From there we jump to the West Coast in the 1970s and a troubled reporter named Luisa Rey, who stumbles upon a web of corporate greed and murder that threatens to claim her life. . . . And onward, with dazzling virtuosity, to an inglorious present-day England; to a Korean superstate of the near future where neocapitalism has run amok; and, finally, to a postapocalyptic Iron Age Hawaii in the last days of history. But the story doesn't end even there. The narrative then boomerangs back through centuries and space, returning by the same route, in reverse, to its starting point. Along the way, Mitchell reveals how his disparate characters connect, how their fates intertwine, and how their souls drift across time like clouds across the sky. As wild as a videogame, as mysterious as a Zen koan, Cloud Atlas is an unforgettable tour de force that, like its incomparable author, has transcended its cult classic status to become a worldwide phenomenon., SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE - By the New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Clocks . . .
