The English translation of Murakami's Newest Novel Out in November

The English translation of Murakami's 2023 novel, The City and Its Uncertain Walls, will be out on November 26, 2024. The translator is Philip Gabriel, the UK publisher is Harvill Secker, and the book can already be pre-ordered here on amazon.co.uk. The cover design has not been released yet, so we only get to see the placeholder cover for now. 

I wonder whether Chip Kidd will be the one designing the US cover? A quick internet search shows that people are excited about the new book. One Reddit user, r/murakami attempted a design based on the UK paperback covers.
