imagination and buoyed by beautifully descriptive writing.”—USA
Today
“[David Mitchell] has a gift for fiction’s natural
pleasures—intricate surprises, insidiously woven narratives,
ingenious voices.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Elegantly composed, gracefully plotted and full of humor.”—Los
Angeles Times
“Unlike so many of the chroniclers of the twenty-first-century
pastiche—an industry dominated by ad men and feature-writers, not
novelists—Mitchell has set out to craft actual characters, not
archetypes. The result is a dazzling piece of work.”—The Washington
Post
“Mitchell deftly sketches each character to such a compelling
extent that you become totally immersed. . . . His nine characters
and their random but fateful interactions provide a playful,
suspenseful foray into our ever-shrinking world.”—Entertainment
Weekly
“An intricately assembled Fabergé egg of a novel, full of sly and
sometimes beautiful surprises. . . . In an era in which much
literary fiction is characterized by unearned ironies and glib
cynicism, it’s hard not to be impressed by the humanism that
animates Mitchell’s book.”—New York
“Gripping and innovative. . . . [Ghostwritten serves] to illustrate
the strange interconnectivity of the modern world and the
improvisatory nature of fate.”—The New York Times
“A daring novel, uniquely structured and just as uniquely
compelling.”—The Denver Post
