David Mitchell was born in Southport, Merseyside, in England, raised in Malvern, Worcestershire, and educated at the University of Kent, studying for a degree in English and American Literature followed by an M.A. in Comparative Literature. He lived for a year in Sicily, then moved to Hiroshima, Japan, where he taught English to technical students for eight years, before returning to England. After another stint in Japan, he currently lives in Ireland with his wife Keiko and their two children. In an essay for Random House, Mitchell wrote: "I knew I wanted to be a writer since I was a kid, but until I came to Japan to live in 1994 I was too easily distracted to do much about it. I would probably have become a writer wherever I lived, but would I have become the same writer if I'd spent the last 6 years in London, or Cape Town, or Moose Jaw, on an oil rig or in the circus? This is my answer to myself." Mitchell's first novel, Ghostwritten (1999), moves around the globe, from Okinawa to Mongolia to pre-Millennial New York City, as nine narrators tell stories that interlock and intersect. The novel won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize (for best work of British literature written by an author under 35) and was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award. His two subsequent novels, number9dream (2001) and Cloud Atlas (2004), were both shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. In 2003, he was selected as one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists. In 2007, Mitchell was listed among Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World. Mitchell's American editor at Random House is novelist David Ebershoff.

A postmodern visionary who is also a master of styles of genres, David Mitchell combines flat-out adventure, a Nabokovian lore 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 profund as it is playful. Now in his new novel, David 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.

读后感

一、《云图》与永劫回归 在大卫•米切尔的小说《云图》中,青年音乐家弗罗比舍在自杀前曾经有过这样一段冥思: “褪去保姆、学校和国家贴上的一些信念,你会发现一个人内心中永远去不掉的真相。罗马帝国会再次衰落,科尔特斯会再次蹂躏诺奇提特兰城,尤因会再次远航,艾德...

早在大卫·米切尔空降中国之前,我已经看到许多书评人在提醒读者们为他的到来做好准备。这位生于1969年的英格兰青壮年小说家不容小觑,轰动欧美文坛的《幽灵代笔》不过是处女作,发表时作者刚满三十岁,随后的《九号梦》、《云图》、《绿野黑天鹅》相继入围布克奖决选,2007...

写在前头的话:第一次写书评,对于书评应该用什么样的结构,有什么注意事项,都没有多少概念,想到什么就写什么吧。    书是前天亚马逊买的,两天看完了,室友还说速度是不是太快了。 其实对于我来说,一本开看的书,我要做的就是不断抽时间去完成它。就像书中说的那样,一...

因为喜爱这部电影,于是又读了这部原著,然后更加惊喜地“结识”了大卫·米切尔这位小说高手,如果还不能说大师的话。虽然上海文艺出版社的这个译本非常的“不善”,编辑质量更是几近“拙劣”(而且在译者也许是能力问题,但在编辑就绝对是态度问题了),不过这一切都瑕不...

一个月不到的时间,断续把《云图》这本480多页的砖头书搬完了。我果然是有很长时间没有那么快地看完一本书了啊,很多书就那样被我搬了一半就搁置了,回头再看都忘了说什么。 《云图》到底是有多奇妙?近一个月,没有看一部电影,甚至都没干其他喜欢的事情,就一头子扎进这故...

Our lives and our choices, like quantum trajectories are understood moment to moment, at each point of intersection, each encounter, suggests a new potential direction.

这本好难。结构和语言都很精巧,可是断代讲故事没有Ghostwritten那么流畅。也许我是应该把中译本的看了

Literature課看的,但是太難了,看了戲,很好看。
