當諾貝爾文學獎作家為爵士女伶寫歌：石黑一雄與史黛西‧肯特 (Stacy Kent) 的跨界友誼

如今在文學圈家喻戶曉的諾貝爾文學獎得主石黑一雄，其實在成為作家之前想當寫詞人。
在大學時期因為接觸到創意寫作，對音樂也感興趣的石黑一雄曾寫過不下上百首的歌詞，雖然最終沒有走上作詞人的道路，成為小說家，但從他過去的小說故事裡，不乏能看出他對音樂的喜愛與擅長。
史黛西‧肯特的爵士歌手生涯從歐洲發跡，最後又紅回她的出生地美國，曾獲法國頒授藝術與文學騎士勳章，也是葛萊美獎入圍常客，他們因為一個廣播節目於2002年認識，變成為了長年好友，才開啟了這段美好的跨界合作。
石黑一雄的文字充滿畫面感，輕輕訴說旅行時的各種記憶與感受，或許快樂，或許憂傷，或許有些無奈，或許獨自一人，但總是保有對未知前方的樂觀與希望。
搭配義大利知名插畫家 Bianca Bagnarelli 繪製當代風格的插畫，紀錄可能你我都曾有過的旅途片刻。

From the Nobel Prize–winning author of Klara and the Sun and Never Let Me Go comes a gorgeously illustrated volume of lyrics written for the platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated jazz singer Stacey Kent.
Memorably introduced by Ishiguro himself, The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain collects the lyrics of sixteen songs he wrote for world-renowned American singer Stacey Kent, which were set to music by her partner, Jim Tomlinson. An exquisite coming together of the literary and musical worlds, the lyrics are infused with a sense of yearning, melancholy, love, and the romance of travel and liminal spaces.
Further exploring the notion of collaboration and interpretation, the collection is illustrated by the acclaimed Italian artist Bianca Bagnarelli, whose work perfectly captures the atmosphere and sensibility of the songs.
