THE UNCONSOLE.

by Kazuo Ishiguro.

The Unconsoled is at once a gripping psychological mystery, a wicked satire of the cult of art, and a poignant character study of a man whose public life has accelerated beyond control, by the author of The Remains of the Day, "Ishiguro is an original and remarkable genius.... The Unconsoled is a work of art."

by Cormac McCarthy.

"A miracle in prose, an American original."

-The New York Times Book Review.
