Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ghostwritten is the first novel by David Mitchell, published in 1999. The novel is made up of nine loosely connected short stories ranging from Japan to New York. Most of the stories take place around the turn of the 21st century, although two of them begin early in the 20th century. While each part functions on its own complete story, events of the stories often interlink and overlap.The nine narrators are, in order: a cult member living in Okinawa, Japan; a record-shop clerk and saxophonist living in Tokyo; a corrupt British businessman in Hong Kong; a tea shack owner living on a Holy Mountain in China; a "noncorpum" entity in Mongolia; an art thief in St. Petersburg; a drummer in London; a quantum physicist in Clear Island, Ireland; and a late-night radio DJ in New York City.Ghostwritten discusses many themes, including the role of chance and fate in life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Darker and Edgier: Perhaps the least heartfelt of all Mitchell's works. Most of the main characters aren't all that likeable and the narrative doesn't hold anything back. | |

Ghostwritten / int_7fbe9a30 | comment |
Freak Out: When the well-meaning noncorpum entity in the fourth part attempts to talk to his hosts, several of them believe they are hearing voices and go insane. Experienced by Margarita, the narrator at the end of the St. Petersburg chapter, after Jerome kills Rudi, Margarita kills Jerome, and Suhbataar phones the police, leaving Margarita alone: | |
