Signed Bookplate Edition - Ex Libris: EX LIBRIS / FOYLES SIGNED EDI

Book lover!

Here’s a fabulous treat for yourself or a loved one: Michiko Kakutani’s Ex Libris: 100+ Books to Read and Reread. Get your hands on this bibliophile’s bible with a signed bookplate and a set of ten artwork postcards, strictly available while stock lasts!

Presenting the must-read recommendations of the Pulitzer Prize-winning literary critic, Ex Libris collects over one hundred literary picks for a life well read, with accompanying reviews sure to push each successive tome to the top of your to-be-read pile. With dazzling reimaginings of classic book covers from illustrator Dana Tanamachi and a gorgeous giftable package, this is pure book lover ambrosia with a strong message: that books bring people together, expand horizons, illuminate a multiplicity of views and voices and help us grow as people.

Vanity Fair once called Kakutani, former chief book critic of the New York Times, ‘the most powerful book critic in the English-speaking world’—and here she writes on Americanah, on The Handmaid’s Tale, on Midnight’s Children, on One Hundred Years of Solitude—on The Underground Railroad, There There, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, White Teeth. On Saul Bellow, Toni Morrison, Oliver Sacks, Dr. Seuss, Joan Didion—on Muhammad Ali, Abraham Lincoln, democracy and tyranny, work and vocation—the list goes on and on.

Kakutani is an encyclopedic guide with a consummate authority on all things book, and reading Ex Libris is like being in the company of a dazzlingly informed, totally approachable friend—one who dips and dives into fascinating asides, who never balks from the political, and who believes thoroughly in the power of literature.
