Kazuo Ishiguro
Kazuo Ishiguro, published in
March 2015.
The novels are written in the first-person narrative style and the
narrators often exhibit human failings. Ishiguro's technique is to allow
these characters to reveal their flaws.
Ishiguro's novels often end without any sense of resolution. The issues
his characters confront are buried in the past and remain unresolved.
But in the end, many of his characters accept their past and who they
have become.
