My copy of David Mitchell’s latest novel came in the mail today via the UK. It’s not out for another week or so in the US, but my impatience and preference for the European edition’s cover (no dust jacket, and a tasteful cream and blue woodcut illustration) drove me to go ahead and order it.
I’m finishing up Dan Simmons’ dark, intriguing, and well-written sci-fi novel Hyperion at the moment, but Thousand Autumns will be quickly devoured after that. Blog posts for both shall be forthcoming.
. I seems like every other Mitchell book (
) blows me away, so I’m due.
