Was hat ein Anhänger eines Apokalypse-Kultes, der ein Attentat auf eine überfüllte Metro ausführt, mit einem Jazz-Fan in Tokio zu schaffen? Warum wirkt sich der finanzielle Ruin eines ausgebrannten Rechtsanwaltes auf eine Frau aus, die auf einem heiligen Berg mit einem Baum spricht? Wie hängen ein Gangster aus der Mongolei, ein vergessener englischer Spion in Petersburg, ein Ghostwriter und ein pessimistischer New Yorker DJ zusammen? In Mitchells Roman geschieht keine Handlung der skurrilen Figuren ohne dass sie Auswirkungen auf die anderen hätte.
An apocalyptic cult member carries out a gas attack on a rush-hour metro, but what links him to a jazz buff in downtown Tokyo? Or to a Mongolian gangster, a woman on a holy mountain who talks to a tree, and a late night New York DJ?
Set at the fugitive edges of Asia and Europe, Ghostwritten weaves together a host of characters, their interconnected destinies determined by the inescapable forces of cause and effect. A magnificent achievement and an engrossing experience, David Mitchell's first novel announced the arrival of one of the most exciting writers of the twenty-first century.

Pressestimmen
Demands to be read and re-read ... an astonishing debut Lawrence Norfolk, Independent 'The accolades are well deserved..Ghostwritten is a wide-reaching, mult-layered novel...Mitchell also captures a tenderness, a yearning for something deeper, just below what often appears in as a bleak and cheerless surface' The Observer 'Mitchell's dazzling debut covers a lot of geography and a vast range of topics. The whole magpie's nest is loosely bundled into the net bag of a fiercely incomprehensible and mystical plot. Gracefully written, Mitchell is definitely a new name to look out for. The Times One of the best first novels I've read in a long time ... I couldn't put it down AS Byatt, Mail on Sunday A firework display ... a remarkable novel by a young writer of remarkable talent Observer 'One of those ingeniously interlinked stories that can take some following at times but which make a thoroughly entertaining mix' Manchester Evening News 'Technically accomplished, but consistently funny and affecting: if you want to know what the distinctive literature of the 21st century will look like, begin here' Boyd Tonkin, Independent The best first novel I have read in ages ... it beguiles, informs, shocks and captivates. William Boyd, Daily Telegraph Books of the Fabulously atmospheric and wryly perceptive ... a huge new talent Guardian Books of the Year The best modern novel I have read for some time Rachel Cusk, Express on Sunday A remarkable first novel ... Eastern, ethereal, yet flecked with flashes of commando grit, this multi-faceted novel is full of surprises Time Out
