David Mitchell has emerged as one of the leading figures of the
current "under-50" generation of contemporary British writers and
is rapidly taking his place amongst British novelists with the
gravitas of an Ishiguro or a McEwan. Written for a wide
constituency of scholars, students, and readers of contemporary
literature, " A Temporary Future: The Fiction of David Mitchell"
explores Mitchell's primary concerns--including those of identity,
history, language, imperialism, childhood, the environment,
ethnicity--across the six novels published thus far, as well as his
protean ability to write in multiple and diverse genres. It places
Mitchell in the tradition of Murakami, Sebald, Ishiguro, and
Rushdie--writers whose work explore narrative in an age of
globalization and cosmopolitanism. O'Donnell traces the
through-lines of Mitchell's work from "Ghostwritten "to "The Bone
Clocks "and, with a chapter on each of the six novels, tracks the
evolution of Mitchell's fictional project. The concluding chapter
addresses Mitchell as a writer of the future.
