It's real, found it on amazon
I've never known penguin to commission cover art though. It might just be some stuff he did for another purpose

hey, nice, was just about to post that

In Brazil, the Penguin label is published as a collaboration between local publisher Companhia das Letras (roughly translated Letters Co.) and Penguin Co., I guess the cover comission is something more to the side of Letters Co. as I remember the translator talking about he himself asked Joan to do the artwork. Interesting nonetheless, the traduction is top notch too.

>>7905124
That's fucking nice

Where can I buy this cover?

few places.
It's on sale on amazon from some sketchy weeb shops. If you're in the US, I understand that there's a Japanese bookstore chain called Kinokuniya which has a handful of branches in some major cities.
Retails for around $50~70 and this is only part 1 of 2. The second volume is pic related
I used to have it but I literally left it in Japan. big mistake. long story.

>>7905252
I'm tempted to buy it but I don't know Japan so it's kinda pointless

>not being willing to teach yourself a new language to experience a nicely-graphicly-designed translation of a novel originally written in your native language

When did /lit/ become so pleb?

>>7905236
Because it isn't a real cover

>>7905058
kek

>>7905095
I liked it. It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be on this board. It's pretty short, so it's not like you're wasting time, I read the whole thing in a day.

Wordsworth coetzee,

I agree, I quite liked Gatsby. The American education system and "nerdy" white girls have made it a bit of a meme, but it's a finely written and very fun piece of work.
