설명
Wolkenatlas is alleen al door zijn ‘matroesjka’-structuur uniek. Vijf verhalen worden verteld tot de helft: het avontuurlijke reisjournaal uit 1850 van notaris Ewing, de hilarische brieven van de musicerende oplichter Frobisher, de thriller van roddeljournaliste Luisa Rey, de krankzinnige lotgevallen van uitgever Cavendish en het vraaggesprek met de kloon Sonmi-451. Het zesde verhaal speelt ver in de toekomst, wanneer de mensheid bijna ten onder is gegaan. Vanaf dat moment rondt Mitchell de andere verhalen af en voert hij de lezer door alle genres terug in de tijd.

A collection of stories spread out over different generations of strangers, that are all somehow intertwined. Some characters are more likeable and some stories are better than the others (I was most drawn to Sonmi and Frobisher), but they are cleverly linked so it's enjoyable overall. It is a long read, however and I began to run out of steam in the last couple of hours for the audiobook (25 and a half hours listening time...), so at that point was happy when I'd finished. It's worth bearing in mind there are some problematic parts e.g. I think the language used was to reflect the opinions and terms of that time-period. There's also a bit of white saviourism, so it's not a perfect book.
