![]() ![]() I’ll read Ishiguro’s novels until he’s done, in spite of the sadness I feel reporting that I am not a fan of The Buried Giant. I actually didn’t love Never Let Me Go as much as almost everyone else, but for my money Ishiguro wrote two of the great novels of the late twentieth century - The Remains of the Day and The Unconsoled - and I’m a great admirer of When We Were Orphans, the novel Ishiguro published in 2000. That 2005 novel was Never Let Me Go, a strong contender on a strong Man Booker Prize shortlist. ![]() Of course, following his work has turned out to be quite easy: before this week’s publication of his seventh novel, The Buried Giant, Ishiguro’s last novel was published a full decade ago, and I’ve been anticipating his follow-up ever since. I follow few contemporary authors as closely as I follow Kazuo Ishiguro. ![]()
