Ross Reynolds speaks with novelist David Mitchell. Paris Review describes his  books, which include "Cloud Atlas", "Black Swan Green" and the newly released "The Bone Clocks," as ambitious, formally complex, imaginatively powerful, and immaculately written. 

Mitchell talks about why he brings back characters in book after book, and how he finds the concentration to write such intricately designed narratives.
