I read his Black Swan Green in my University's English department, and I immediately fell in love with his writing. Now reading his Cloud Atlas, which is brilliant.
I've just read Black Swan Green and I have never enjoyed a book so much. He was able to illuminate the dark places I had in my imagination that I had as a boy in the early 80's that were once incandescent.
God he's such a good writer. Sometimes it seems like all the literary titans - DeLillo, McCarthy, Roth, Vidal, Pynchon, Morrison, etc. - are on the downside of their literary careers, and I wonder what the hell is going to happen when they're gone? But David Mitchell gives me hope.
