Sputnik Sweetheart (PROOF COPY)

Pictorial wrappers with the text “Book Proof – Not For Sale” to front cover and blurb and publicity information to rear. With a short editorial by Murakami’s UK editor Ian Pindar loosely tipped in. A tight, square and clean copy; appears unread. Translated from the Japanese by Philip Gabriel. *** Probably the most underrated of Murakami’s novels: it merges the melancholy realism of Norwegian Wood with the meta-philosophical musings and alternative worlds of his more surreal work.
