About this listen

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2001.

The second novel from the critically acclaimed author of Ghostwritten and Cloud Atlas.

As Eiji Miyake's 20th birthday nears, he arrives in Tokyo with a mission - to locate the father he has never met.

So begins a search that takes him into the seething city's underworld, its lost property offices and video arcades, and on a journey that zigzags from reality to the realm of dreams. But until Eiji has fallen in love and exorcised his childhood demons, the belonging he craves will remain, tantalizingly, just beyond his grasp.

The story is set in Japan, so I think the reader should have some understanding of the Japanese language and how it’s pronounced. Although people who haven’t lived in Japan or don’t know Japanese might not notice, some of us who do live in Japan, as David Mitchell did, might be put off, as I was, by the constant mispronunciations of Japanese words. I think that for books set in foreign countries or translated books, the narrator should have some familiarity with the original language.

A great story badly pronounced
