«Écrits fantômes» is David Mitchell's novel, published by Seuil in paperback (513 pages, in French).
Ten episodes connect very different characters —a terrorist in Tokyo, a nomadic spirit in Mongolia, a woman who talks to a tree in China— through coincidences and minor gestures. Alternating love, thriller and anticipation, the novel reflects on chance and causality as the reader discovers how stories influence each other.
The original English work, «Ghostwritten», was published in 1999; the French translation is by Manuel Berri and the edition is from March 2005.
Contemporary literary fiction for readers who enjoy non-linear structures, multiple voices and stories that cross genres.
Vice-Admiral Sir David Mitchell was a Royal Navy officer and courtier who served as the Black Rod from 1698 to 1710.
