 * Cloud Atlas (novel) says that part of the story was "set in Zedelghem, near Bruges, Belgium" in 1931. In Cloud Atlas (film), it's set in Edinburgh in 1936.
 * Are you suggesting this is a rip-off of the Fenby/Delius story? --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  00:04, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

The influence of Delius and Fenby on the book have been openly acknowledged by David Mitchell himself. See https://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/jun/12/book-club-mitchell-cloud-atlas --Michelham (talk) 15:08, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
