number9dream - David Mitchell
number9dream - David Mitchell
May 2009
I am constantly amazed by David Mitchell's ability to write using different voices. In Ghostwritten and Cloud Atlas, the stories are disjointed, with stories nestled within stories, all told from different perspectives and by different people, yet each story is plausible and each voice is distinct. number9dream is stylistically different from both those books as it is more of a traditional narrative, but it dips into the fantastical and the breadth and pace of the story is staggering. I will read this book again, probably.
