MURAKAMI, Haruki. Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki & His Years of Pilgrimage. Trans. from the Japanese by Philip Gabriel. London: Harvill Secker. 2014. 8vo. First British edition, first printing. Publisher’s vibrant patterned hardcover boards lettered in white to the spine, in the dust jacket. This copy lacking the issued stickers to front pastedown, but signed and stamped by the author to the title page, with cutting from a plastic ‘Murakami’ wristband and the uncommon ‘Strange Library’ cards handed out with great mystery to those queueing for the book signing event in London of this novel, the cards hinting at the novella of the same name to be published later that year. A fine copy in like unclipped dust jacket (£20.00).
Murakami’s thirteenth published novel, and probably a little underrated by fans, about the eponymous Tsukuru and his sudden breakdown of friendship with his university friends.
