Written for a wide constituency of readers of contemporary literature, A Temporary Future: The Fiction of David Mitchell explores Mitchell's main concerns--including those of identity, history, language, imperialism, childhood, the environment, and ethnicity--across the six novels published so far, as well as his protean ability to write in multiple and diverse genres. It places Mitchell in the tradition of Murakami, Sebald, and Rushdie--writers whose works explore narrative in an age of globalization and cosmopolitanism. Patrick O'Donnell traces the through-lines of Mitchell's work from ghostwritten to The Bone Clocks and, with a chapter on each of the six novels, charts the evolution of Mitchell's fictional project."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Literary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writers823/.914O'Donnell Patrick1948-1796031UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910958139003321A temporary future4337599UNINA
