The newest novel from Anthony Doerr, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning All the Light We Cannot See; like that international bestseller, Bird City Beyond the Clouds was shortlisted for the US National Book Award. The novel is structured like a matryoshka doll (or David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas): it cleverly intersects the lives and destinies of Anna and Omir on opposite sides of the wall in 1453 Constantinople besieged by the Turks, as well as Zeno, an elderly Greek literature enthusiast, and Seymour, a young eco-terrorist in modern-day Idaho, and Constance, who is travelling to a distant exoplanet on the Argo ship, guided by the omniscient Sibyl. Like Marie-Laure and Werner in All the Light We Cannot See, all five here are dreamers and outsiders, never losing hope in the midst of seemingly hopeless chaos and despair: ‘Bird City Beyond the Clouds shows that all is not yet lost for us - and that literature is an important instrument of salvation’ (Boston Globe) - for example, the mythical story of the ancient Greek Aiton, who dreams of turning into a bird and flying to a fairy-tale city beyond the clouds... ’Bird City Beyond the Clouds covers an incredible range of knowledge and life experience. It is a human and inspiring book for adults, filled with the unforgettable magic of childhood reading experiences‘ (New York Times Book Review).’ (New York Times Book Review).
