Freedom follows several members of an
American family, the Berglund's, as well as
their close friends and lovers, as complex and
troubled relationships unfold over many years.
They have one daughter, Jessica, and a son,
Joey, who early on displays an independent
streak and an interest in making money. Joey
becomes sexually involved with a
neighborhood teen named Connie and begins
to rebel against his mother, going so far as to
move in with Connie, her mother, and her
mother's boyfriend Blake, making Patty and
Walter increasingly unstable. After several
unhappy years the family relocates to
Washington, D.C., abandoning the
neighborhood and house they worked so hard
to improve. Walter takes a job with an
unorthodox environmental project, tied to big
coal.

 “First Love, Last Rites” is told by an unnamed narrator who

lives with his girlfriend in a quayside apartment in
England. Both are seventeen or eighteen years of age. It is
early summer, and the lovers, filled with youthful passion,
make love regularly on a mattress-covered table in front of
a big, open window. Once, while they are lying on the table,
the narrator becomes aware of clawing sounds behind the
wall; shortly afterward, Sissel also hears the noise.
 The narrator and Sissel continue to lie on the mattresscovered table, talking and making love. Sissel develops foot
rot, the smell mingling with the smells of mud and seaweed
coming in through the window. The narrator hears the
creature in the wall and imagines it is his own creature in
Sissel’s body—one of feathers, claws, and gills. Sissel
hears the creature also, and her lover thinks the scratching
sound that grows out of their lovemaking is part of her
fantasy also.
 By mid-July, the lovers touch less, no longer enjoying their
room. Adrian comes to visit them every day and wants to
fight with Sissel as in former days. He is sincerely
disgusted when the lovers touch.

 A gallery attendant at the Hermitage. A young jazz buff in Tokyo. A

crooked British lawyer in Hong Kong. A disc jockey in Manhattan. A
physicist in Ireland. An elderly woman running a tea shack in rural China.
A cult-controlled terrorist in Okinawa. A musician in London. A
transmigrating spirit in Mongolia. What is the common thread of
coincidence or destiny that connects the lives of these nine souls in nine
far-flung countries, stretching across the globe from east to west? What
pattern do their linked fates form through time and space?
A writer of pyrotechnic virtuosity and profound compassion, a mind to
which nothing human is alien, David Mitchell spins genres, cultures, and
ideas like gossamer threads around and through these nine linked stories.
Many forces bind these lives, but at root all involve the same universal
longing for connection and transcendence, an axis of commonality that
leads in two directions--to creation and to destruction. In the end, as lives
converge with a fearful symmetry, Ghostwritten comes full circle, to a point
at which a familiar idea--that whether the planet is vast or small is merely a
matter of perspective--strikes home with the force of a new revelation. It
marks the debut of a writer of astonishing gifts.

Adapted Screenplay
1938 Pygmalion
Shaw was conscious of the
difficulties involved in staging a
complete representation of the play.
Acknowledging in a "note for
technicians" that such a thing would
only be possible "on the cinema
screen or on stages furnished with
exceptionally elaborate machinery",
he marked some scenes as
candidates for omission if necessary.
Of these, a short scene at the end of
Act One in which Eliza goes home,
and a scene in Act Two in which
Eliza is unwilling to undress for her
bath. The others are the scene at the
Embassy Ball in Act Three and the
scene with Eliza and Freddy in Act
Four.

It is early summer, and the lovers, filled with youthful passion, make love regularly on a mattress-covered table in front of a big, open window. Once, while they are lying on the table, the narrator becomes aware of clawing sounds behind the wall; shortly afterward, Sissel also hears the noise.  The narrator and Sissel continue to lie on the mattresscovered table, talking and making love. Sissel develops foot rot, the smell mingling with the smells of mud and seaweed coming in through the window. The narrator hears the creature in the wall and imagines it is his own creature in Sissel’s body—one of feathers, claws, and gills. Sissel hears the creature also, and her lover thinks the scratching sound that grows out of their lovemaking is part of her fantasy also.  By mid-July, the lovers touch less, no longer enjoying their room. Adrian comes to visit them every day and wants to fight with Sissel as in former days. He is sincerely disgusted when the lovers touch.

  • 13.  A gallery attendant at the Hermitage. A young jazz buff in Tokyo. A crooked British lawyer in Hong Kong. A disc jockey in Manhattan. A physicist in Ireland. An elderly woman running a tea shack in rural China. A cult-controlled terrorist in Okinawa. A musician in London. A transmigrating spirit in Mongolia. What is the common thread of coincidence or destiny that connects the lives of these nine souls in nine far-flung countries, stretching across the globe from east to west? What pattern do their linked fates form through time and space? A writer of pyrotechnic virtuosity and profound compassion, a mind to which nothing human is alien, David Mitchell spins genres, cultures, and ideas like gossamer threads around and through these nine linked stories. Many forces bind these lives, but at root all involve the same universal longing for connection and transcendence, an axis of commonality that leads in two directions--to creation and to destruction. In the end, as lives converge with a fearful symmetry, Ghostwritten comes full circle, to a point at which a familiar idea--that whether the planet is vast or small is merely a matter of perspective--strikes home with the force of a new revelation. It marks the debut of a writer of astonishing gifts.

  • 15. Shaw was conscious of the difficulties involved in staging a complete representation of the play. Acknowledging in a "note for technicians" that such a thing would only be possible "on the cinema screen or on stages furnished with exceptionally elaborate machinery", he marked some scenes as candidates for omission if necessary. Of these, a short scene at the end of Act One in which Eliza goes home, and a scene in Act Two in which Eliza is unwilling to undress for her bath. The others are the scene at the Embassy Ball in Act Three and the scene with Eliza and Freddy in Act Four.
