The Unconsoled is constructed on an epic scale. A sad, strange comedy set in contemporary Europe, it features a large gallery of characters, among them some of the most poignantly memorable the author has ever created.

From the Inside Flap:
From the universally acclaimed author of The Remains of the Day comes a mesmerizing novel of completely unexpected mood and matter--a seamless, fictional universe, both wholly unrecognizable and familiar. When the public, day-to-day reality of a renowned pianist takes on a life of its own, he finds himself traversing landscapes that are by turns eerie, comical, and strangely malleable.
