One of the most celebrated writers of our time gives us his first cycle of short fiction: five brilliantly etched, interconnected stories in which music is a vivid and essential character.
A once-popular singer, desperate to make a comeback, turning from the one certainty in his life . . . A man whose unerring taste in music is the only thing his closest friends value in him . . . A struggling singer-songwriter unwittingly involved in the failing marriage of a couple he’s only just met . . . A gifted, underappreciated jazz musician who lets himself believe that plastic surgery will help his career . . . A young cellist whose tutor promises to “unwrap” his talent . . .
Passion or necessity—or the often uneasy combination of the two—determines the place of music in each of these lives. And, in one way or another, music delivers each of them to a moment of reckoning: sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, sometimes just eluding their grasp.
An exploration of love, need, and the ineluctable force of the past, Nocturnes reveals these individuals to us with extraordinary precision and subtlety, and with the arresting psychological and emotional detail that has marked all of Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed works of fiction.

用户评价
“If he comes back to the square, and I’m not playing, l’ll go over and have a word with him.”
评分没想到石黑一雄的短篇这么有意思。最喜欢第四个故事，主人公和他朋友的电话对话太可爱了，一个英国人写起美国味儿的对话，也是毫不违和啊。
评分每一则被悠扬或即兴的旋律包裹下的故事都在讲不太动听却比较真实的现实世界。
评分有必要这么温暖么！对话有必要这么多么！
评分英文念了前三篇，后两篇读的中译。
