Number 9 Dream [by David Mitchell, Reprint Edition, Paperback]

My rating

Description

In outward from, Number9Dream is a classic Dickensian coming-of-age journey: a young naif, Eiji Miyake, a provincial boy raised by his grandmother on an outer island, makes his way to Tokyo at the age of twenty to find his father. As the novel builds to its haunting conclusion, Eiji's dreams intrude on his waking life with more and more insistence, until in the end the difference between them is trivial, and the spell he is under and the one the reader has fallen under become fully the same.
