The debut novel by contemporary classic David Mitchell, two-time Booker Prize finalist for Dream #9 and Cloud Atlas (recently adapted by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis). It was The Literary Ghost, with its trademark Mitchellian polyphony, that lifted the young author to the British literary Olympus in the blink of an eye. These pages intertwined the life paths of a young sectarian who, at the behest of His Providence, staged a sarin attack on the Tokyo subway, and an aspiring saxophonist who moonlights in a collectible vinyl shop, a bank manager from London laundering Russian mafia money in Hong Kong, and a veteran of British intelligence who decided to publish his memories, his “literary black man” (who is also the leader of a punk band) and an incorporeal ghost hovering over the Mongolian steppes, a female physicist from an Irish island, who is hunted by the Pentagon, thieves of Hermitage paintings, a New York DJ and many, many others …. “One of the best novels I have read in a long time. <...> I literally could not tear myself away from the book - and I got even more pleasure when rereading it ”(A. S. Byatt). The translation is published in a new edition.
