It was probably more science fiction that attracted me. A British fantasy writer called Alan Garner. They’re actually fairly popular here, yeah. A Celtic-flavored fantasy quintet called The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper, but I’m not sure how well those. I’m not sure if they made it over to this side of the Atlantic. Some you may not have heard of they were for British kids more at the time. Where to begin? Tolkien, of course, Ursula Le Guin, the Earthsea books. I mentioned that this is a show for fantasy and science fiction fans, so the first thing I want to talk about, is just what were some of your favorite fantasy and science fiction books growing up? Visit to listen to the interview or other episodes. This interview first appeared on ’s The Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast, which is hosted by David Barr Kirtley and produced by John Joseph Adams. Mitchell’s most recent books are The Bone Clocks, about a secret war between two factions of immortal occultists, and Slade House, a decade-spanning haunted house novel. Those books include Ghost Written, Number Nine Dream, Black Swan Green, and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. All of Mitchell’s novels are set in the same universe with characters from one book appearing in or being referenced in the others. David Mitchell is the best-selling author of the 2004 novel Cloud Atlas, which was adapted by the Wachowskis into a feature film starring Tom Hanks and Halle Berry.
