“Memories and thoughts age, just as people do. But certain thoughts can never age, and certain memories can never fade": First Edition of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles; Signed by Haruki Murakami and three times by Illustrator Chip Kidd
First edition of Murakami's heroically imaginative novel, which is at once a detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets of World War II. Octavo, original boards. Presentation copy, inscribed by Haruki Murakami in English and in Japanese and additionally signed three times by the jacket illustrator Chip Kidd; once on the front panel, on the half-title page and on the rear jacket flap. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Chip Kidd. Translated from the Japanese by Jay Rubin. A unique example.
"A beguiling sense of mystery suffuses The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and draws us irresistibly and ever deeper into the phantasmagoria of pain and memory. . . . Compelling [and] convincing" (Los Angeles Times Book Review).
