Ghostwritten: A Novel in Nine Parts
Ghostwritten: A Novel in Nine Parts

Interconnected stories spanning cultures and consequences.

If you're fascinated by the butterfly effect in human relationships and events, "Ghostwritten" should captivate you. David Mitchell skillfully interweaves nine disparate narratives across the globe, each affecting the other in subtle but profound ways. It's a global tour of serendipity and human connection that will leave you contemplating the invisible threads that link us all.

Description

David Mitchell's electrifying debut novel takes readers on a mesmerizing trek across a world of human experience through a series of ingeniously linked narratives. Oblivious to the bizarre ways in which their lives intersect, nine characters—a terrorist in Okinawa, a record-shop clerk in Tokyo, a money-laundering British financier in Hong Kong, an old woman running a tea shack in China, a transmigrating "noncorpum" entity seeking a human host in Mongolia, a gallery-attendant-cum-art-thief in Petersburg, a drummer in London, a female physicist in Ireland, and a radio deejay in New York—hurtle toward a shared destiny of astonishing impact. Like the book's one non-human narrator, Mitchell latches onto his host characters and invades their lives with parasitic precision, making Ghostwritten a sprawling and brilliant literary relief map of the modern world.
