Blackwell Customer Reading Group, OxfordDo you like talking about books? Then join Books on the Broad Reading Group, winner of the Penguin / Orange Book Group of the year! Future Choice include:
June Empire of the Sun by J G Ballard, to be discussed in July. This is the story of a British boy's four-year ordeal in a Japanese prison camp in Shanghai during the Second World War, in a world of starvation and survival, of internment camps and death marches. Empire of the Sun blends history and autobiography with a filmic, dream-like, vision of a world thrown out of joint. Rooted in the author's own experience of family internment following the attack on Pearl Harbor, winner of the Guardian Fiction Prize, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and filmed by Steven Spielberg, Empire of the Sun has been acclaimed as one of the great war novels of the twentieth century.
July Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, to be discussed in August. 'Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies'. A voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a disinherited composer in between-the-wars Belgium; a journalist in Governor Reagan's California; a vanity publisher fleeing gangland creditors; a genetically modified waiter on death-row; and Zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the nightfall of civilisation, the six narrators of Cloud Atlas hear each other down the corridor of history, changing their destinies in many ways. In his novel which encompasses the globe and reaches from the nineteenth century to a post-apocalyptic future, David Mitchell challenges the boundaries of language and time and offers a meditation on humanity's will-to-power.
