Recensione:

Praise for Ghostwritten

"An astounding novel."
--Tibor Fischer

"Ghostwritten imagines a literature for the twenty-first century."
--Nicholas Blincoe, The Guardian

"Every one of these pages deserves and demands to be read and
re-read. Ghostwritten is an astonishing debut."
--Lawrence Norfolk, The Independent

"Boundless, fully imagined . . .
the best modern novel I have read for some time."
--Rachel Cusk, Express on Sunday

"David Mitchell's first novel is a firework display. . . . The assurance and panache are truly remarkable. . . . This is a remarkable novel by
a young writer of remarkable talent."
--Adam Lively, The Observer

"This is one of the best first novels I've read for a long time. It's told in a series of gripping, interconnecting tales, in many voices, all of
them imaginatively urgent. For all the plot's dazzling
complexity, Mitchell's writing--which has many styles--is always simple and elegant. His people always engage the imagination,
and the book is never clotted by its ambitions. It easily covers
the global village but there's no sense that it's striving for multiculturalism or spectacular effects--just that Mitchell knows what he's doing.
I read a proof of this on a transatlantic flight. When I got off in Atlanta,
I couldn't put it down. I pulled my luggage in one hand along corridors and escalators, and held David Mitchell's last chapter up to
my nose with the other. I finished at the carousel. It seemed appropriate. And it's even better the second time."
--A. S. Byatt
