Resena: Not a novel in the traditional sense, Cloud Atlas (2004) is actually an interconnected series of very tall tales indeed. The first half of each story is presented in the novel’s first half; the novel’s second half completes each story, in reverse chronological order. The novel thus has a pyramid shape to it, and is partly told backward.
Each of the stories that make up Cloud Atlas takes place in a different time period, and adheres to a different style within a genre or form.

"David Mitchell entices his readers on to a rollercoaster, and at first they wonder if they want to get off. Then - at least in my case - they can 't bear the journey to end. Like Scheherazade, and like serialised Victorian novels and modern soaps, he ends his episodes on cliffhangers and missed heartbeats. But unlike these, he starts his next tale in another place, in another time, in another vocabulary, and expects us to go through it all again. Trust the tale. He reaches a cumulative ending of all of them, and then finishes them all individually, giving a complete narrative pleasure that is rare. " AS Byatt
