David Mitchell’s New Book Is a Lot Like Cloud Atlas, Except Without the Fun

I’m excited. Here’s the spoiler free plot summary: “In sum, the Anchorites of the Dusk Chapel of the Blind Cathar, who practice the Psychosoterica of the Shaded Way, fuel their atemporality with decanted souls lured up the Way of Stones on the equinox and solstice, a Rebirthday celebrated with the Black Wine. The Horologists, swimming in and out of the Deep Stream, scansion and hiatus, subwake and subask, sometimes enfolding, as they attempt to fulfill, or at least transverse, the Script, before the Endarkenment.”
