Biography
English writer David Mitchell is the author of the novels "Cloud Atlas", "A Thousand Autumn by Jacob de Zuta", "Meadow of the Black Swan". He won the prestigious Booker Prize twice. He was included in the list of the 100 most influential people on the planet.
fact
Childhood and youth
David Mitchell was born on January 12, 1969 in Southport (England). The future writer spent his childhood in Malvern (Worcestershire). The desire to become a writer came to young David at the age of 8, when the guy read a book about the adventures of rabbits, which was popular in those years. The work inspired the aspiring author so much that David immediately wrote a four-page story about the adventures of otters, repeating the plot of the book he had read. As talented children, David wrote poetry, but, according to the writer, "they were terrible."
The artistic development and creative biography of Mitchell was influenced by his parents. As the writer said in an interview, every month they bought one book, which was for David "like a magic wardrobe from Narnia - a door to another reality."
David Mitchell received his education at the University of Kent, studying English and American literature.
fact
Literature
David Mitchell's books have been translated into 25 languages. After living in Sicily for a year after graduation, the future author of popular novels moved to Japan in 1994 to teach English at school. It was supposed to stay in Hiroshima for a year, but the trip was delayed for eight years.
Mitchell's first novel, The Ghost of Literature, was released when the writer turned 30. The novel declared Mitchell as an "English Murakami", placing the writer on a par with English prose writers - Lawrence Norfolk, Rachel Kusk, and others.
In the novel "Literary Ghost", the fates of many outstanding characters are intertwined: a sectarian preparing an explosion in the Tokyo subway; a saxophonist selling records in a music store; a banker fulfilling an order for the Russian mafia; Mongolian ghost; a female physicist hiding from military intelligence; a former English intelligence agent turned writer. Ghost of Literature received the John Llewellyn-Rees Award for "Best British Book by an Author Under 35".
David Mitchell's second novel, Dream # 9, published in 2001, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. The protagonist of the novel Eiji Miyake travels to Tokyo from a provincial Japanese town in search of his father. A simple story tells about the inner experiences of a guy who fell into the fairy tale of a metropolis with many inhabitants with fantastic fates. The subtle details of the circumstances in the plot make you really empathize and worry about the characters.
In the 2004 "Cloud Atlas", the author has collected six subjects that united the time period from the mid-19th century to the distant future. The hero of the first story is somehow connected with the subsequent story. Booker-nominated Cloud Atlas is best known worldwide for its film adaptation.
The film Cloud Atlas, directed by Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run, Perfume. The Story of a Murderer), Lilly and Lana Wachowski (The Matrix, Jupiter Rising), was released in 2012. The main roles in the film were performed by a star cast: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Ben Whishaw and others. The film with a budget of $ 102 million, called "the most expensive budget film of all time", received the Saturn and Golden Globe awards and a high audience assessment.
The 2006 book Black Swan Meadow surprised fans of David Mitchell. The novel, which tells about the hero more like Salinger's, does not resemble any of the author's works. The 13 chapters of Black Swan Meadow tell about 13 months of Jason Taylor's life. The boy secretly composes poetry and suffers from stuttering.
Thirteen months of events in Jason's life will tell the story of his transformation from an angular, introverted teen into a beautiful young man. The novel "Meadow of the Black Swan" has received several prestigious awards, and its author has been named one of the 100 most influential people by Time magazine.
It took David Mitchell four years to work on Jacob de Zuth's A Thousand Falls. To create a work telling about Japan in the 18th and 19th centuries, the author studied the smallest details of the country's culture at that time. The writer drew a parallel between Japan at the time of the shoguns and modern Europe at that time.
The idea of creating the novel originated in 1994, during Mitchell's stay in the East. David once went to the Dejima Museum in Nagasaki Bay. What he saw impressed the author and led to the decision to write about Japan's past. The hero of "A Thousand Autumn by Jacob de Zut" is a young guy from Holland who came to Japan with a desire to get rich. Circumstances make the hero stay in the country for years, experience joys and hardships.
In 2014, David Mitchell's highly anticipated novel "Mortals" was released. As in other works of the author, the readers again met with the heroes already familiar from other novels. The heroine of "Ordinary Mortals" is a girl named Holly Sykes. The amazing and fantastic story begins when Holly quarrels with her mother and runs away from home. The chain of events on Earth is slowly moving humanity towards the apocalypse, but few people notice anything. Holly finds herself in the epicenter of the confrontation of dark forces feeding on human souls and guardian angels.
Six chapters of the novel trace the life of a girl from the peaceful 80s to 2040 - without mobile phones, the Internet and air travel. The actions of the author's novels take place in one universe, united by the plot of the novel "Simple Mortals". The plot lines of novels often indirectly affect previous works.
On a tangent to the plot of "Ordinary Mortals" was the novel "The Hungry House", released in 2015. The work began in the form of Halloween stories on Twitter. The novel is a scary and mesmerizing story that begins in one of the side streets of London. The hero of the Hungry House is an old mansion with inhabitants living by cruel rules. Masters of horror in literature rave about the work, although the public received it ambiguously.
fact
Personal life
David Mitchell met Keiko Yoshida in Japan. Young people worked as teachers at a school in Hiroshima. According to Keiko of Japan, David was not arrogant like other teachers from America. On the contrary, the young teacher was distinguished by amazing courtesy and attention.
David studied Japanese culture intensively, he said, to prove seriousness and to make it clear to Keiko that he was not just a "bothersome Westerner." The girl lived on weekdays with her mother, and on the weekend she moved to David. Today the writer's wife works as a translator. The couple moved to live in the city of Cork, Ireland, and are raising two children.
fact
David Mitchell now
In 2016, David Mitchell was involved in a project by Scottish artist Katy Paterson. The art project "Library of the Future" is designed for 100 years and is supposed to collect by 2114 a hundred unpublished works of the greatest writers of our time. Mitchell donated to the Library of the Future an unpublished manuscript, "I Exude What You Call Time."
The novels of the writer have not been announced for 2018, although admirers of David Mitchell's talent hope for the continuation of the plot of "Ordinary Mortals", they really want to look another decade ahead after the apocalypse that came in 2040.
