About Black Swan Green by David Mitchell
Set in Worcestershire in 1982, Black Swan Green follows thirteen-year-old Jason Taylor through a year in a village during the Cold War. Its thirteen chapters are each described as short stories in their own right, bringing together the experiences of boyhood and a world marked by social and political change.
The novel places Jason’s growing-up years alongside events and pressures of the period, including the Falklands War, recession-era England and his parents’ slow-motion divorce. Readers interested in literary coming-of-age fiction, British life in the early 1980s, and stories that connect personal experience with historical context may find it especially rewarding.
