The New York­er has com­pared David Mitchell to Nabokov and Sara­m­a­go and says that he is ​“one of the few writ­ers whose dis­po­si­tion for arti­fice is tru­ly super­nat­ur­al.” He has been short­list­ed twice for the Man Book­er Prize, notably for his nov­el Cloud Atlas, which was adapt­ed for the screen in 2012 by Lil­ly and Lana Wachows­ki and Tom Tyk­w­er. In 2018, he received the Sun­day Times Award for Lit­er­ary Excel­lence, which hon­ors an author’s entire body of work. His most recent nov­el is Utopia Avenue (2020). The event will be held on Novem­ber 24^th, at 7 pm, at the Audi­to­ri­um of the Atwa­ter Library, at 1200 Atwa­ter Avenue. Entry is free.
