    The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet is a novel of propriety, profiteering, and broken promises set in 18th-century Japan.  “David Mitchell is a prodigiously daring and imaginative young writer,” writes Time magazine; and he is simply “a genius,” according to the New York Times Book Review.  Mitchell was twice short-listed for the Man Booker Prize for his novels Number9Dream and Cloud Atlas; his other books, Ghostwritten and Black Swan Green, have also garnered numerous accolades.  He was named one of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists as well as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People.
