The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet (Random House)
We're thrilled to have David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas and Black Swan Green, back to our store to read from and sign his new, highly anticipated novel, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet.
At the event, we'll be raffling off two posters signed by Mitchell, so be sure to buy the book here to get a raffle ticket!
We'll also be simulcasting the event to our annex space next door, so we can accommodate an overflow crowd.
We've already sold a large part of our order of first printings; if having a first printing is important to you, we recommend calling and purchasing one over the phone for pick-up when you arrive to the event.
We will be using numbered "tickets" to the signing line. They are free and first come, first served. If you'd like to have David Mitchell sign a book for you, pick up a signing line ticket at the front counter when you come to the event. They'll be available starting at 5:30 p.m. on Friday (two hours before the event begins).
And now, more on David Mitchell!
"Mitchell is, clearly, a genius." --The New York Times Book Review (review of Cloud Atlas)
"Mitchell really is his generation's Pynchon." --Kirkus Reviews (review of Cloud Atlas)
"Brilliant…Mitchell creates an evocative yet authentically adolescent voice, an achievement even more impressive than the ventriloquism of his earlier books." --The New York Times Book Review (review of Black Swan Green)
