It is a long way from Nagasaki to Number Ten Downing Street. Yet
this is precisely the unpredictable path Kazuo Ishiguro has
travelled, he was born in the former, and his portrait now hangs in
the latter. "The Remains of the Day" won the Booker Prize in 1989,
and confirmed Ishiguro's status as one of Britain's leading
writers. Barry Lewis' study offers a close-reading of this
much-loved novel, and considers all of Ishiguro's work from "A Pale
View of the Hills" (1982) to "When We Were Orphans" (2000),
including his short stories and television plays. How Japanese is
Ishiguro? What role does memory and unreliability play in his
narratives? Why was "The Unconsoled" (1995) perceived to be such a
radical break from the earlier novels? In addressing these
questions, Lewis explores the centrality of dignity and
displacement in Ishiguro's vision, and teases out the connotations
of home and homelessness in his fictions.
