Congratulations! Kazuo Ishiguro wins the Nobel Prize.
The Inevitable sadness of Kazuo Ishiguro’s fiction from the Conversation.
The New Yorker (James Wood) Wood loves “Never Let Me Go” and his early novels – saying Ishiguro has supremely done
his own kind of thing.
“The author’s subtlety and coolness are fascinating,” wrote Patricia Highsmith
Ishiguro attended British boarding schools and took time off, in 1973, to hitchhike across the U.S. with his guitar. He studied philosophy and literature at the University of Kent, when he sang and played in a band, and then got a master’s in creative writing at the University of East Anglia. Steeped in the idealistic social movements of the 1960s and ’70s, he worked for several years helping the homeless and on housing rights.
