About the Book
Kazuo Ishiguro is widely regarded as one of the finest novelists writing in English, and this collection spans the breadth of his career. An Artist of the Floating World follows an aging painter reckoning with his role in prewar Japan, while When We Were Orphans traces a detective's search for his parents in old Shanghai. The Remains of the Day, Ishiguro's Booker Prize-winning masterpiece, is narrated by a butler reflecting on duty and lost love. Never Let Me Go reimagines a boarding school in a darkly altered England, while The Buried Giant is a haunting fable of memory set in post-Arthurian Britain. Klara and the Sun, his most recent novel, is narrated by an "Artificial Friend" observing the human world with tender clarity. Together, these six novels showcase Ishiguro's signature restraint and his gift for finding profound emotion in understated prose, rewarding readers with rich characters and endings that linger long after the final page.
