From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize-winning novel The Remains of the Day comes an inspired sequence of stories as affecting as it is beautiful.

With the clarity and precision that have become his trademarks, Kazuo Ishiguro interlocks five short pieces of fiction to create a world that resonates with emotion, heartbreak, and humor. Here is a fragile, once famous singer, turning his back on the one thing he loves; a music junky with little else to offer his friends but opinion; a songwriter who inadvertently breaks up a marriage; a jazz musician who thinks the answer to his career lies in changing his physical appearance; and a young cellist whose tutor has devised a remarkable way to foster his talent. For each, music is a central part of their lives and, in one way or another, delivers them to an epiphany.

Love these!
Size: Standard (20" X 26"), Color: 02 - White - Zipper, Number of Items: 2
I like these better than the Blissy mulberry silk pillowcase. They feel smoother and softer and make my hair less frizzy. I've been buying these for years and they hold up great! I just switched to the zipper version instead of the envelope style, and I really like the more modern aesthetic of the hidden zipper. They are nice!

I bought these because they were recommended by my hairdresser for hair breakage. I love the zipper because the pillow can’t slip out. I will sy these do feel nice against the skin as well.

Feels heavenly
Size: King (20" X 36"), Color: 14 - Lavender - Zipper, Number of Items: 2
Literally just got it in the mail and fell in love. It's so soft and wasn't being harsh with my beard hair. Hopefully no more split ends! (Good hair protection!) There was no odor to speak of and it fit my pillow perfectly, we got king size, (AKA good compatibility)
