- Title: Almost Transparent Blue - Author: Ryu Murakami - Type: Hardcover - ISBN: 978-4061315310 Thank you for viewing. There are no writings, folds, or tears, and the condition is not bad. However, as it is an old book, there is some aging, and there may be minor scratches or inconspicuous scuffs, so please understand that it is a "used book" and not completely new, and make your judgment based on the photos. There are no smokers or pets in the house. I will wrap it in a PP bag and ship it. ---------- (The following is an excerpt from Amazon's introduction) A city of primary colors near the US military base in Fussa. Set in a so-called house, a daily feast of drugs and sex. Young people, black people, and women, all seeking intoxication, their fragile and sad bonds. A vivid piece of literature that brilliantly depicts the deep cracks hidden beneath the seemingly scandalous youth, with a sober sensibility and poetic imagery. Winner of the Gunzo Prize for New Writers and the Akutagawa Prize. ----------
