A debut novel which was an unequivocal critical success in trade paperback, and which was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award. Set at the fugitive edges of Asia and Europe, this is a highly imaginative and memorable debut, which combines a multitude of elements, locations and characters to great effect. ''One of the best first novels I've read for a long time'' A.S. Byatt
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.
