Synopsis
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2001.
The second novel from the critically-acclaimed author of Ghostwritten and Cloud Atlas.
In outward form, number9dream is a Dickensian coming-of-age journey.
As Eiji Miyake's twentieth birthday nears, he arrives in Tokyo with a mission - to locate the father he has never met.
So begins a search that takes him into the seething city's underworld, its lost property offices and video arcades, and on a journey that zigzags from reality to the realm of dreams.
But until Eiji has fallen in love and exorcised his childhood demons, the belonging he craves will remain, tantalisingly, just beyond his grasp.

External Reviews
"Moving through a complicated coming-of-age tale that starts small with a quest for ones estranged father under control situations and further expands into a search for the meanings and acceptance of life while caught up in events beyond oneself, Mitchell questions reality and the nature of dreams all set to the soundtrack of the late, great John Lennon."
"This book is so beautifully written. It's strange and heart wrenching, funny and relatable. I have never known another author to compact so many emotions into one book and make the book a good read." - Goodreads Reviews.
