But after reading his first two novels, Ghostwritten and Number9Dream, I reread Cloud Atlas and it all fell together for me. I loved Ghostwritten the most.Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-53004982677120013802016-03-18T11:13:58.447-07:002016-03-18T11:13:58.447-07:00I read BSG several years ago and might need to rev...I read BSG several years ago and might need to revisit it to refresh my memory. I haven't read any other Mitchell but have considered tackling Cloud Atlas.

After all, we are all products of the times and places in which we live. The inner life is affected by what surrounds it, so I'm not clear as to what Yanagihara meant. (Of course, I didn't hear the interview!) For example, I suspect that in Mitchell's book Jason's inner life was greatly affected and explained by the conflict at home and the bullying he experienced at school. I don't see how including those events would distract the reader from his inner life.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-91690559783413240952016-03-13T06:38:05.572-07:002016-03-13T06:38:05.572-07:00Hello dear Judy.
