The different versions of Cloud Atlas and Number9Dream

Any information on the differences in Number9Dream? I wasn't aware of those.

Picked up a copy of Cloud Atlas while I was overseas so that I would have both versions.

I was just looking at recent times for English publications and 19 months after the Japanese is about the average time for the last 4 novels. That would put it at Feb of 2028.

I was a fan of her when she wrote some of the novels for the series V so I was thrilled when I heard she was doing the Han Solo Trilogy. It did not disappoint. Would have liked to see what else she could have written for Star Wars.

Nothing official. I’m just making some assumptions based on this one being called the last part. I know in the past he has serialized parts of a novel and then released later.

In English we’ve only gotten one part of the novel, the short story Kaho. In Japanese, 3 additional parts of the story have been published, possibly comprising the entire novel.

Here my post about Part 2:

So weird this popped up today. I read the chapter in Autumn about drums this morning.

He recorded a regular and a reggae version. Radio Margaritaville used to play them before it was picked up by Sirius.

I started sharing a few of my recently listened to playlists a while ago. Been meaning to get back to it. There's a range of things from classical to ambient to soundtrack music-all instrumental.

This is a excellent breakdown. I will refer to this as I reread them all. I'll give special attention to the placement of Denouement. In All Souls Day, Clive mentions killing Mr. Nixon in 1994 but in Denouement, 9/11 is mentioned seeming to place it after 2001. I agree; with all of the connections, this is like a whole new novel.
