Not too many David Mitchell blurbs out there, and some of them are quite brief – cropped for maximum impact by editors, I suspect. Note as well the extremely British use of the term “wrong-footed.”
- For Strangers by Taichi Yamada: “Highly recommended. A cerebral and haunting ghost story, which completely wrong-footed me.”
- For The Memory Artists by Jeffrey Moore: “combines smartness and wisdom”
- For Book of Voices: “A treasures box”
- For Silence by Shusaku Endo: “One of the finest historical novels written by anyone, anywhere… Flawless”
- For Maps for Lost Lovers by Nadeem Aslam: “It depicts an extraordinary panorama of life within a Muslim community… Thoughtful, revealing, lushly written and painful, this timely book deserves the widest audience.”
