Kazuo Ishiguro – The Unconsoled – SIGNED First Edition 1995
£145.00
A first edition, first printing of The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro, published by Faber and Faber, London in 1995. A near fine book SIGNED by the author in black ink to the title page, a gift inscription in blue ink to the front free end paper, some light shelf-wear to the front and rear boards and spotting to the text block. In a near fine price clipped wrapper with chipping to the upper knuckles of the front and rear flap folds and small loss to the upper edge of front panel, spotting internally.
Published in 1995, The Unconsoled is Kazuo Ishiguro’s dreamlike novel about Ryder, a celebrated pianist who arrives in an unnamed European city to give an important performance. As appointments, demands and strange encounters multiply, time and geography become increasingly unstable. Blending Kafkaesque absurdity with psychological realism, the novel explores memory, guilt, professional ambition and emotional neglect. Its disorienting structure divides readers, but it remains one of Ishiguro’s boldest and most ambitious works of modern fiction.
