#DavidMitchell is a strange author in his way; he writes in a variety of styles, often high literary (here, a historical novel of politics in turn of the 19th century Japan and its Dutch trading post Dejima) but always connects it back, more or less obliquely, to his 'macronovel' of a big dopey battle between good and evil immortal wizards. It shouldn't work, but boy can he write, so he gets away with it. #FinishedReading #Bookstodon @bookstodon
