About “Ghostwritten”

A 1999 novel by David Mitchell follows nine distinct characters in nine different cities. Each story is unique and features a different protagonist, including a crazed cult member, a corrupt lawyer, a Tokyo jazz enthusiast, an art thief, and a New York late-night DJ. The narratives do not end in isolation but instead intertwine and transform as the reader moves between them. The novel explores how these lives and stories connect in unexpected ways.
