![]() ![]() ![]() But I became aware of The Bone Clocks in October, during the Salt Cay Writers Retreat. I finished it yesterday, just making the deadline. I have a one-degree relationship with David Mitchell and because of that and the inclusion of T he Bone Clocks on nearly every end-of-year best of list, I wanted to read the novel before 2015 dawned. I’m not sure what Time magazine’s criteria for influence was, but Mitchell certainly writes persuasively about the irreversible ecological damage we are doing to Planet Earth and seems to have built himself a neat, but rather strange, philosophy connecting Buddhism, Atheism and Oligarchy. The Bone Clocks is the first I’ve read, though I did see the movie adaptation of Cloud Atlas. Time magazine named David Mitchell, author of six novels including Cloud Atlas, Ghostwritten, Number 9 Dream and The Bone Clocks, one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2007. ![]()
