![9780007182121: Tokyo Cancelled [Lingua Inglese]](https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9780007182121-it.jpg)
A major international debut novel from a storyteller who couples a timelessly beguiling style to an energetically modern worldscape.
Thirteen passengers are stranded at an airport. Tokyo, their destination, is covered in snow and all flights are cancelled. To pass the night they form a huddle by the silent baggage carousels and tell each other stories.
Robert De Niro’s child, conceived in a Laundromat, masters the transubstantiation of matter and turns it against his enemies; a Ukrainian merchant is led by a wingless bird back to a lost lover; a man who edits other people’s memories has to confront his own past; a Chinese youth with amazing luck cuts men’s hair and cleans their ears; an entrepreneur risks losing everything in his obsession with a doll; a mute Turkish girl is left all alone in the house of German cartographer.
Told by people on a journey, these are stories about lives in transit. Stories from the great cities – New York, Istanbul, Delhi, Lagos, Paris, Buenos Aires – that grow in to a novel about the hopes and dreams and disappointments that connect people everywhere.
Dasgupta’s writing is utterly distinctive and fresh, so striking that it seems to come from the future and the past all at once, but in marrying a timeless mystery to an alert modernity, his cautionary tales manage to be reminiscent of both Ballard and Borges, depicting ordinary extraordinary individuals (some lost, some confused, some happy) in a world that remains ineffable, inexplicable, wonderful.

Descrizione libro Original Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Signed and dated 'Cambridge 17.ii.05' by the author on the title page where he has also written 'To Sandra from Olly.' Another odd feature of this copy is that where the book is dedicated to his parents the names 'Barbara' and 'Ashish' have been signed, each in different handwriting. It would appear that the author's parents have also signed the book presumably at a book launch event in Cambridge although I haven't been able to check this out fully. If so this is probably a unique and rather unusual copy. Near fine apart from a tiny trace of a pencilled price on the front free endpaper and some light rubbing to the edges of the jacket. First printing. Signed by Author(s). Codice articolo 005803
