Book # 63
63) Mitchell, David. CLOUD ATLAS. Random House: 2004.
Mitchell's ambitious novel weaves history, science, suspense, humor and pathos through six separate but related narratives. Each of the narratives is set in a different time and place, each is written in a different prose style, each is broken off mid-action and brought to conclusion in the second half of the book. The author has a gift for creating fully realized worlds with a varied cast of characters. Interesting reading; interesting writing.
Note to self: movie version of this story opens OCt 16th; good directors, good cast...
