Soft cover. Condition: Very Good ++. First Edition. 1st King Penguin Softcover Edition, first thus. Inscribed to the half-title page: to David Lodge all best wishes. K. Ishiguro 5th Oct. 1985 Cheltenham. And above this but below the biographical paragraph Ishiguro has added: An Artist of the Floating World forthcoming, in reference to his next novel which would be published the following year. The recipient was fellow author and critic, David Lodge and this was his review copy of the book, with a slip from the publisher loosely inserted. Ishiguro studied creative writing at UAE on the course taught by Malcolm Bradbury. He first met Lodge when he was the guest writer on an Arvon Course at which Lodge was tutoring, the latter referring to him as: "charming as well as gifted." (WL, page 219), and Lodge went on to play a further significant part in Ishiguro's writing career, being one of the Booker Prize judges in 1989 when The Remains of the Day was the winner. This book neatly captures an interesting phase in the lives of both authors, when Lodge was the senior figure, an established and well connected author and academic and Ishiguro the rising young star, who would presumably have been keen to secure Lodge's continued support. A particularly pleasing literary association copy of Ishiguro's first novel. Book is very good and bright. Light age toning to pages and cover. More images can be taken upon request. Ref18346.

A touch rubbed to the corners. A Pale View of Hills* (1982) is the debut novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. The story centres on Etsuko, a Japanese widow living in England, reflecting on her past in post-World War II Nagasaki.

As Etsuko recalls these events, underlying themes of loss, guilt, and the aftermath of trauma emerge. The narrative is subtle and ambiguous, leaving readers to piece together the deeper emotional truths hidden in Etsuko's recollections.

First edition, first impression, signed by the author on the title page, of his first novel, which received the Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize in the year of publication. This edition precedes the US edition by two months, and it is much rarer, especially signed. A contemporary review of the work in the New York Times noted that "its characters, whose bursts of self-knowledge and honesty erase their inspired self-deceptions only briefly, are remarkably convincing. It is filled with surprise and written with considerable charm. But what one remembers is its balance, halfway between elegy and irony". In 2017, Ishiguro was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his "novels of great emotional force" that have "uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world". "In a Japan Like Limbo", New York Times, 9 May 1982, accessible online. Octavo. Original light blue boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Housed in a custom grey quarter morocco solander box with patterned paper sides. Jacket unclipped: a fine copy in like jacket.
