Now a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry,
Susan Sarandon, and Hugh Grant, and directed by Lana and
Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer
Includes a new Afterword by David Mitchell
A postmodern visionary who is also a master of styles and
genres, 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 Haruki Murakami, Umberto
Eco, and Philip K. Dick. The result is brilliantly original
fiction that reveals how disparate people connect, how their
fates intertwine, and how their souls drift across time like
clouds across the sky. “[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
