Kazuo Ishiguro is one of the finest contemporary authors who
possesses that increasingly rare distinction of being a writer who
is both popular with the general reading public and well-respected
within the academic community. Kazuo Ishiguro: New Critical Visions
of the Novels presents eighteen fresh perspectives on the author's
work that will appeal to those who read him for pleasure or for
purposes of study. Established and rising critics reassess
Ishiguro's works from the early 'Japanese' novels through to his
short story cycle Nocturnes, paying particular attention to The
Remains of the Day, The Unconsoled, When We Were Orphans and Never
Let Me Go. They address universal themes such as history, memory
and mortality, but also provide groundbreaking explorations of
diverse areas ranging from the posthuman and 'minor literature' to
ethics, science fiction and Ishiguro's musical imagination.
Featuring an insightful interview with Ishiguro himself, this
collection of essays constitutes a significant contribution to the
appreciation of his novels, and forms a lively and nuanced
constellation of critical enquiry. Preface by Brian W. Shaffer.
