"What is real and what is not?" David Mitchell's Ghostwritten: A Novel in Nine Parts plays with precisely this question throughout its elaborately compartmentalized narrative. (That there are 10 chapters in this 9-part invention is just one more aspect of the author's mysterious schema.) With its multitude of voices and globe-girdling locations--Tokyo, Hong Kong, Mongolia, Petersburg, London--this first novel offers readers a vertiginous, sometimes seductive, display of persona and place.
At the heart of Mitchell's book is the global extension of the postmodern city, and the networks (cultural, technological, phantasmagoric) to which it gives rise. A metropolis like Tokyo is quite literally beyond our comprehension:
Twenty million people live and work in Tokyo. It's so big that nobody really knows where it stops. It's long since filled up the plain, and now it's creeping up the mountains to the west and reclaiming land from the bay in the east. The city never stops rewriting itself. In the time one street guide is produced, it's already become out of date. It's a tall city, and a deep one, as well as a spread-out one.
At this level, urban sprawl becomes an epistemological condition. On one hand it leads to a Japanese death cult, purging the "unclean" from the city's subway with nerve gas. And on the other, it produces a certain splintering of the human personality. "I'm this person, I'm this person, I'm that person, I'm that person too," chants Neal, the narrator of the book's second part. "No wonder it's all such a ... mess." He's talking about his life as a Hong Kong trader, a "man of departments, compartments, apartments." But he might also be describing the experience of reading Ghostwritten. At once loquacious and knowing, leisurely and frantic, Mitchell offers a huge, but fragmentary, portmanteau. And while he's labored diligently to solder together the many parts--the aching bodies, the reality police, the impossibly complex machinery of contemporary life--his novel, too, may suffer from an excess of split personality. --Vicky Lebeau
Book Description
David Mitchell's electrifying debut novel takes readers on a mesmerizing trek across a world of human experience through a series of ingeniously linked narratives.
Oblivious to the bizarre ways in which their lives intersect, nine characters-a terrorist in Okinawa, a record-shop clerk in Tokyo, a money-laundering British financier in Hong Kong, an old woman running a tea shack in China, a transmigrating "noncorpum" entity seeking a human host in Mongolia, a gallery-attendant-cum-art-thief in Petersburg, a drummer in London, a female physicist in Ireland, and a radio deejay in New York-hurtle toward a shared destiny of astonishing impact. Like the book's one non-human narrator, Mitchell latches onto his host characters and invades their lives with parasitic precision, making
Ghostwritten a sprawling and brilliant literary relief map of the modern world.

Like the Little Girl with the Curl: when she was good, she was very very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid.......2007-08-05
In this debut novel, published to almost universal acclaim, the author presents 9 disparate stories, each in a different setting and each with a different first-person voice. The narrators are a Japanese doomsday cultist; a teenage jazz aficionado in Tokyo; a corrupt and haunted Hong Kong lawyer; a time-battered Chinese noodle-shop owner; a nomadic, disembodied intelligence currently migrating through various people in Mongolia; a seductive but battered art thief working at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg; a London-based itinerant musician, ghostwriter, and ne'er-do-well; a brilliant but threatened Irish physicist; and a NYC late-night radio-show host.
That this author can write is not in question. Settings, characters, pacing, and action are beautifully rendered for the most part. Connections between the 9 stories are whispy, ghostlike threads that are intriguing to the reader but play no part in the actual stories---a miniscule mention of swan in one story, for example, echoes in another time and place when some other character dreams of swans. The author's touch with this device is light, light. Coincidence, randomness, what is real and what is not are the themes woven into this intricate and imaginative compendium.
But does this book work, that is the question. I've finally concluded that Ghostwritten is like the Little Girl with the Curl: when she was good, she was very very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid. Seven of the stories I rate as very excellent indeed. Two, the ones set in Mongolia and NYC, I found overwritten, undisciplined, and exceedingly tedious. I suspect the author got locked into the idea that the book could only have a Message if it ended like your average TV show---everything all wrapped up, roll credits, cut to commercial. Seven good stories out of nine makes this book worth reading. To the author I say this: give your readers some credit; they don't have to be beat over the head.
Can you file charges for mind-rape?.......2007-07-26
This book is flat out amazing. By no means an easy read, the payoff is well worth the inevitable bouts of frustration you'll endure. Nearly every chapter is written from a different point-of-view, and Mitchell masterfully weaves them into a narrative that spans the globe. It was on the curriculum for an undergraduate lit. course, and it was the highlight of the semester. Telling a story the way he does here is ambitious, and therefore easy to ruin. But where in other's hands it might seem gimmicky, Mitchell pulls it off w/ a clarity of expression that will leave you pondering the book long after you have finished reading. Purchase it now, thank me later.
Read this book (at least twice!) - You won't be disappointed.......2007-05-05
Every now and then you chance across a book and it simply blows you away. Frankly I'm in awe of the fact that this was David Mitchell's first novel. The basic structure is a series of stories with their own unique but always compelling voice spread across the world (and to a limited degree, time) but which all link in a way that is sometimes so minimal as to be dismissed as irrelevant except when you have the benefit of the reader's broad perspective. It is that aspect that gives the stories and their linkages this almost mystical feel, a feeling which tends to have a haunting resonant quality for the reader and is strongly suggestive of a greater truth that is being exposed without being described by Mitchell. In some ways you have to wonder if Mitchell's "success" will undermine the value of his art - it's a strange old world out there and to my mind its a reasonable assertion that many who would seek the important qualities of Mitchell's writing refuse to accept that it can be found in anything as mainstream as a book on some best seller list. But here it is. Read it and you will see what I mean.
Lovely fabulist puzzle of a book.......2006-11-10
It's quite a feat: a virtuosic display of technique on the part of the young writer David Mitchell, as he takes individual chapters and tells the various stories in separate "monologues", so that each chapter is in a different style. It's incredibly well-done, and, yes, a bit show-offy, but Mitchell pulls it off, with the end being very moving.
what an awsome book.......2006-08-09
I read cloud atlas first then picked this one up. I really love his work. I am reading his first novel now. I love how some characters show up in all his books.
Customer Reviews:
A challenging but rewarding book.......2007-08-26
Truly original works of fiction are hard to find these days. David Mitchell has given us such a work. Most of what's out there is like candy, fun to take in and soon forgotten. Mitchell doesn't take such a low view of the reader. This is an extremely challenging work which will reward the reader willing to open his mind and take in the story on a deeper level than what's on the surface.
The book is structured like a Russian nesting doll. Each story is somehow interrelated with the story after it. There are six stories total here. Mitchell ends stories one through five abruptly, and then tells all of story six, and tells the ends of the rest of the stories five to one. It's a very unique structure, and it says something about Mitchell's abilities that he's able to make it work.
Each story is also totally different in terms of style. We begin with a Melvillean tale of the sea, proceed to an English rogue's story, then a hardboiled 70s pulp mystery, then the story of a contemporary degenerate English book publisher, forwarded to a dystopian scifi tale set in the near future, and finally a halting, odd narrative of a man living in a post apocalyptic Hawaii. Each story has a distinct narrative style and has little in common with the preceding story, save the link.
This book gets the reader thinking about many themes. The main theme is breaking free of the shackles life puts on us. Each narrator is somehow constrained, either by society or the government. It also explores the effect rules for the society have on the individual. There are a few other minor themes, but you really should read the book to find out what they are.
My only quibble with this was the sixth story. The narration was so stilted and disjointed that I found it tough to finish it. I ultimately did not, because it was so tough to get through. This is my own failing, and I will have to read it at some point in the near future. It's one of the many challenges Mitchell puts to the reader.
This is a masterful work, which is sure to reveal new truths with each reading.
Serendipity.......2007-08-02
My chief complaint with this book is the title. I was actually looking for "The Cloud Atlas" by Liam Callanan when I picked up this instead in the library, realized my mistake and read it anyway. What a knockout!
As other reviewers here say, the book features quite a welter of plot threads that take some time to weave into the fabric of a good story, but it's well worth the slight wait (my guess is you'll be hooked by the first page of chapter 3).
Yes, Mitchell does flex and flourish his dialects, but not to the point of distraction. And, yes, the book ends on a sci-fi note, but I wouldn't cast it as science fiction alone. It simply deals with human relationships that bridge time and anonymity...including the past and well into a speculative future. I found myself feeling more connected to humanity; not only to today's living cohort but also to yesterday's and tomorrow's. Now that's a trick.
Beautiful, Engaging and Funny.......2007-07-27
The author, at a reading in Philadelphia, admits to liking the structure
of this book because it makes it easier to serialize for magazine sales.
Good for him! Dickens wrote with that in mind and Mitchell is at least
as clever and a much better stylist to boot.
All the stories here-six tales, each with their own reprise-involve
improbable struggles against slightly mad circumstances. The comparison
to Murakami is unavoidable, but Mitchell is more concrete, less ethereal
and possessed of a certain sardonic wit that makes him unique.
Reading this book is not always easy, but the prose is seductive and
the stories will stay in your imagination.
--Lynn Hoffman, author of THE NEW SHORT COURSE IN WINE and
the novel bang BANG. ISBN 9781601640005
Great expectations of readers.......2007-07-23
Even after finishing the book I have a hard time telling friends what it's about. Too many details spoil the plot - suffice to say the individual six tales are subtly connected, though inherently separate, both in voice and substance. Perhaps the underlying message is that on one level or another, we are connected to the past and future of humanity.
The book demands a lot of its reader: we are asked to step inside the lives of very different personalities, via extremely different styles of writing. If you didn't like reading classic lit in school, or can't buy into sci-fi, you may have a problem with the overall story. It bothered me (in a good way) to be torn away from a character I'd just come to love, only to have to start over again with a new tale. Thankfully all stories are excellently told, and indirectly connected by the end (if you've read Stephen King's Dark Tower series and recognized the referrences to his other stories, then you get a rough idea of how these six tales are intertwined).
I particularly enjoyed the social commentary on a wide scale of subjects (from old age to potential downsides to consumer greed). My only criticism is that I would have loved to learn even more about some characters' fates. But perhaps that is the book's very charm, that it leaves you wanting more. It's definitely turned me on to Mitchell's other work.
Essentially a book of short stories.......2007-07-10
While I get that the 6 stories were supposed to be related, I found all the reincarnation babble incredibly cheesy compared to the rest of the writing, and found it tedious to have to stop the middle of one story, start another, then continue it much later and forget who was supposed to be who. I obligingly read the book in order though, expecting a payoff, but found not much reason for this style other than the reincarnation cutesiness. However, a couple of the stories were extremely well-written and enjoyable, the first one about Adam Ewing being the least so (what was that?? So boring compared to the rest of the book, I can't figure out why he would choose to begin and end his book with that). The centerpiece story, the one that is uninterrupted, is absolutely my favorite, it brought me near tears several times. I would read this book again, but I would just read each story uninterrupted and skip the first one.

Book Description
A serial killer wears many faces, but none more terrifying than this one...
Every serial killer fits a profile, follows a pattern, makes a mistake. Until now...
Six years ago forensic psychiatrist Lucas Frank "retired" from hunting serial killers. But someone wants him back in the worst way. It begins with a brutal triple homicide in the picturesque Maine town of Ragged Harbor. And it won't stop there. Suddenly Lucas is forced to do what he swore he would never do again: enter the twisted mind of a killer who enjoys murder. Only this time Lucas must hunt a psychopath whose pattern of behavior defies all logic. A killer who can strike anyone, anywhere, anytime. The FBI is helpless. And even he is baffled at the contradictory clues and taunting hints left behind.
Lucas Frank has met his match. That's why he was called out of retirement.
But does someone want him to catch a killer--or be the ultimate trophy?
Customer Reviews:
A Good Read.......2005-03-31
The two earlier installments in the Lucas Frank series were written by Philpin and Patricia Sierra. With this novel, Philpin tackles all the writing himself, and does a wonderful job!
I found the character of Lucas much more likeable in this novel. The plot moves along quickly and the writing is fantastic. Philpin includes real life examples and cases throughout the story which adds an excellent air of reality. They also serve to remind us that evil does exist in the real world, making this story all the more exciting and scary. The ending wasn't a complete surprise, but it didn't take away from an exciting conclusion.
Spellbinding.......2004-03-12
I just wanted to make sure that no one paid attention to the negative review of this book listed below. I read Dreams in the Key of blue last summer and it is one of the best books I've read in years. The point when I realized who the killer was, literally sent chills down my spin. It's a fast read and every second is thoroughly enjoyable!!! Gets my highest praise!!!
death in a major key.......2003-09-14
Philpin's first solo effort turns to more traditional crime territory, in which a serial killer plays only a tangential role in a convoluted plot of mysterious motives, corruption, and conspiracy. Like a lot of recent crime fiction, this one has a lot of twists and turns to keep you guessing, but for the most part, Philpin is able to keep his plot dead on target. It reminded me a lot of, say, James Ellroy, though without his brooding sense of menace. If the book has a fault, it is that the plot may be a little too clever for its own good and/or there is not enough insight into the killer's more recent state of mind. Still, this is highly recommended. I read his first three thrillers back-to-back-- a very enjoyable and rewarding week.
Not Very Good.......2003-09-03
This novel wasn't written very well. I have several problems with it, including:
1. It uses the first person voice for Dr. Lucas Frank, the protagonist. This is annoying to me, for some reason that I can't quite explain. First person for the killer makes sense, but Lucas should be in third.
2. John Philpin, whom, I assume, doesn't have a degree in criminal psychology, talks trash on the people who do in the book. He blows out of proportion the disagreements over jurisdiction that all state and federal agencies have, and he makes the person from the FBI look like a joke.
3. The author, having researched the case studies of serial killers, thinks that profiles aren't really good for anything, and that they are mere foolishness, despite their accuracy and usefulness. They aren't the be all and end all of criminal studies, but they are quite useful.
If you can get past all of these problems, you still have to deal with a weak story, an author who likes to jerk you around with contradictory information, and statements that are simply obnoxious.
Stated simply, the book is not worth your time. Read something else, unless you are voracious. Pass.

Book Description
No ordinary door, this opens to the language of TreeSpeak, in the dialect of DogNose. Follow the silent sound. The Noses know. They fence the wind's four quarters, engrave our secrets as their very own treasure, and they know who the boogie man is.
Go ahead...give your mourning eyes a good stretch...see? Birds are not random! They fly in ovation for each reincarnation from the highlands of curious places.
Here, magic gadgets are not inanimate: they are sad when they're left alone, happiest when they're not broken, and when they are old, they give comfort.
This door opens to travel journals, poetry and vignettes. This is the rite of passage of a Norwegian/American child born at the tail-end of a long line of funny uncles and prairie widows.
Travel to a 19th century farm in Telemark. Ride the train with three wide-eyed girls through Europe. Experience 18 earth-years as an unsettled cat. Join the fellowship of livestock and the faith that tastes like soil. Hitch your dreams to the breezes of eagles. Scramble up slippery rainbows and around riddling rocks. Follow a mossy trail to the mouth of a dragon, and let the red light of Mars guide your way home.
The author states: "A peaceful little farm in North Dakota was the sanctuary where imagination took its first spin around my head. My world of adventure was the winding creek, the ash tree jungle, wildlife, barn pets, Mom's spooky attic and the great graveyard of flying farm machines. Mom told me to exercise my God-given skills. Dad inspired me, by loving nature and family more than anything. On this little farm, the heartbeat of nature accompanied every day. This is the root of my smile; this is the place I visit at night when I dream."

SHERIE, THROUGH YOUR WORDS AND DESCRIPTIONS YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE US FEEL AS THOUGH WE WERE THERE,TOO. EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK.
A new poet's poet has entered our wonderful world........2007-07-06
Few artists have been affected more deeply and left less scared by their pain than this modern force of poetic nature.
A rare gem.......2007-02-08
Beaver Creek Blues is a refreshing work of art. Kleven-Jensen has a profound gift for beautiful, rich, spine-tingling prose, and she uses it to weave a delightful tapestry of essays and poems about genuine life on the prairie and beyond. Her eye for small details brings her poignant short stories to life, sometimes mournful and sometimes joyful in the same page. The works are original, void of cliché'. Some of her phrases are stunning; you feel compelled to read them over and over, like a fine bouquet of wine lingering on your palate. Her writing is nicely complemented by relevant and interesting photos interspersed throughout the book. This is a rare find. I ordered extra copies as gifts for friends.
A breath of Fresh Air.......2007-01-21
This wonderful book was a Christmas present from my wife. I love it! Growing up, I lived in Florida and North Dakota. That contrast, living in Florida, then in ND, back and forth, gave me a great appreciation for the way of life that the author describes so well; a way of life that is difficult to find these days.
The trip through Norway is so delightfully portrayed that it seems like a personal memory. It has inspired me to go there and trace the author's footsteps. The poems that are scattered throughout the book are simple and uplifting.

Shakti Parwha Kaur has done it again!.......2003-05-22
Kundalini Postures and Poetry is unquestionably the
best illustration of living, breathing, moving Kundalini Yoga for modern times. The photos of a living Master of Kundalini Yoga, Yogi Bhajan, immediately inspired my desire to practice. And I am a yoga teacher of more than 30 years! Still, I put the book down just to do some of the postures; Kundalini Postures and Poetry is that compelling and beautiful. The verses elegantly compliment and expand the photos and deepen one's understanding and sense of sacredness of the yoga. The book is truly wonderful. I recommend it for beginning and seasoned Yoga practitioners alike. Both will gain from it.
I found Kundalini Postures and Poetry to be an exemplary emissary of Yogi Bhajan and his teachings. The book has that effect. Shakti Parwha Kaur, you have done it again! Thank you.
