One of the most important writers of the past 40 years, he won the 1989 Booker Prize for 'The Remains Of The Day ', has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize on a further 3 occasions and in October 2017 was deservedly awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. This illustrated book collects his lyrics written for jazz singer Stacey Kent.

In fine unread condition, 'signed by the author' roundel sticker to the front panel of the dustjacket. A unique collaborative publication which documents the lyrics written by Nobel Prize winning author Sir Kazuo Ishiguro for the platinum selling, Grammy nominated, Jazz singer Stacey Kent. The Summer We crossed Europe in the Rain collects the sixteen song lyrics written to date by Kazuo Ishiguro for the renowned American jazz singer, Stacey Kent, and which have been set to music by composer/bandleader Jim Tomlinson. As the Nobel Prize-winning author explains in his introduction, he has been steadfastly following his remit, that 'however sad, however bleak the song became, there had to remain an element of hope'. The resulting lyrics are infused with yearning and the bittersweet romance of travel. This volume has been gorgeously illustrated by acclaimed Italian comics artist Bianca Bagnarelli, who captures perfectly the varying moods, as well as the 'stories', contained in these songs.
