Kazuo Ishiguro is one of the finest and most accomplished
contemporary writers of his generation. The short story author,
television writer and novelist, included twice in Granta's list of
Best Young British Writers, has over the past twenty-five years
produced a body of work which is just as critically-acclaimed as it
is popular with the general public. Like the writings of Ian
McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro's work is concerned with creating discursive
platforms for issues of class, ethics, ethnicity, nationhood,
place, gender and the uses and problems surrounding artistic
representation. As a Japanese immigrant who came to Great Britain
in 1960, Ishiguro has used his unique position and fine
intellectual abilities to contemplate what it means to be British
in the contemporary era. This guide traces the main themes
throughout Ishiguro's writing whilst it also pays attention to his
short stories and writing for television. It includes a new
interview with the author, a preface by Haruki Murakami and
discussion of James Ivory's adaptation of The Remains of the
Day.>
