Killing Comendatore is a big heavy book with many complex concepts and imaginary. Abstract concepts and entities that exist in an earthly world; art; magical but realistic scenarios and philosophy everywhere. Music and cars, words of poesy that flow from the writting of its author, Haruki Murakami. Krafting a cover for a book with such an identity is not easy work. But the power of this design relapses in the medium, linocut.

"Beguiling... Murakami is brilliant at folding the humdrum alongside the supernatural; finding the magic that's nested in life's quotidian details' Guardian When a thirty-something portrait painter is abandoned by his wife, he holes up in the mountain home of a famous artist. The days drift by, spent painting, listening to music and drinking whiskey in the evenings. But then he discovers a strange painting in the attic and unintentionally begins a strange journey of self-discovery that involves a mysterious ringing bell, a precocious thirteen-year-old girl, a Nazi assassination attempt and a haunted underworld. A stunning work of imagination, Killing Commendatore is a surreal tale of love and loneliness, war and art."
