Sir Kazuo Ishiguro (カズオ・イシグロ or 石黒 一雄), OBE, FRSA, FRSL is a British novelist of Japanese origin and Nobel Laureate in Literature (2017). His family moved to England in 1960. Ishiguro obtained his Bachelor's degree from the University of Kent in 1978 and his Master's from the University of East Anglia's creative writing course in 1980. He became a British citizen in 1982. He now lives in London.
His first novel, A Pale View of Hills, won the 1982 Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize. His second novel, An Artist of the Floating World, won the 1986 Whitbread Prize. Ishiguro received the 1989 Man Booker prize for his third novel The Remains of the Day. His fourth novel, The Unconsoled, won the 1995 Cheltenham Prize. His latest novel is The Buried Giant, a New York Times bestseller. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 2017.
His novels An Artist of the Floating World (1986), When We Were Orphans (2000), and Never Let Me Go (2005) were all shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
In 2008, The Times ranked Ishiguro 32nd on their list of "The 50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945". In 2017, the Swedish Academy awarded him the Nobel Prize in Literature, describing him in its citation as a writer "who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world".
From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.
Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.
Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.
Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.
a delicately woven story you never imagine the British japanese to be writing science fiction. But go on reading and u find he's still the writer of "remains of the day." He puts such emotions into his characters: futility, desperation, tender love leading ...
評分 評分 評分1.感觉本书内敛的笔调并不很适合克隆人这么一种激进的伦理题材。 2.虽然也是五星之选,但相比于《疾病解说者》还是有所差距。 3.编辑的功课不够到位。纵然不是推理小说,封面封底简介译序中无处不在的泄底依然十分可恨。和《捕蜂机》可谓难兄难弟。 4.装祯好难看。尤其封底介绍...
評分石黑一雄也是看以前恺蒂的介绍,说起来就是他文笔如何如何好,这次读这本小说其实才是第一次看他的一整部作品。果然文笔细腻,文字间有一种洁净感。有种说法叫做“精神上的洁癖”,我怀疑作者就是这类人。 看他写露丝就知道了。在整个故事所笼罩的黑色气氛中,揭示人性弱点和自...
you are be told, you are not be totally told.
评分讀到淩晨,淚流滿麵/開頭有懸念有謎團,很怪異的用詞和口吻,一開始是個成長小說,看到一半,哇,是個愛情故事!平淡的敘事和剋製的情感被最後幾章洶湧而來的事實真相所淹沒/超齣瞭科幻小說的範疇/Lucy和Emily之爭,是告訴孩子們等待他們的是什麼,還是給他們一個無憂無慮的童年/Emily和外界之爭,剋隆人究竟有沒有靈魂/Emily和Madame之爭,收集孩子們的畫作和詩作有沒有意義/Tommy下車跑進野地裏的發泄怒吼/Kathy抱著枕頭聽著Never let me go閉上眼睛起舞的場景/Ruth對possible和辦公室生活的嚮往/你怎麼能說他們沒有靈魂/但是他們那麼認命那麼順從,捐獻四次器官直到死去,當carer纍到精疲力盡/隻有最後,Kathy在好友都離去後來到Norfolk尋找失去的所有
评分"I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it's just too much. The current's too strong. They've got to let go, drift apart. That's how it is with us."
