Ghostwritten

David Mitchell has been on my bookshelf for oh so long now. I read something by him a while back and was very impressed but never got around to the rest of his catalog. So, I invested a little quality time with Ghostwritten. I must say I really enjoyed it. I love the way the story changed throughout the book providing different narratives, each really a standalone story, but all connected. I like how that is so true about life and how all of our actions touch someone else somehow. I also loved how the point of view changed as things happened. It reminded me very much of Mrs. Dalloway and how the POV changes were almost viral in that they moved from person to person after some type of physical connection (a touch, a bump, etc). This was also true with Ghostwritten. Very nicely done.
