  • This one's not for everyone (but give it a try)!

    Steve L. - 6 years 2 months ago

    If you are among the many who were drawn to Ishiguro by Never Let Me Go, or by The Remains of the Day, you may find this one a little rougher going. It features a common type of Ishiguro main character, the unreliable narrator. He's a concert pianist, scheduled to do a major performance, but he and the reader are confounded and confused at every turn by elastic shifts in time and place, memories that won't quite come together, and impossible juxtapositions. It is the most dreamlike novel I've ever read. I still don't know how Ishiguro pulled it off. (And there are quite a few readers who don't think he pulled it off.) I hope I'm not scaring you away! Approach with caution, but dive into this disconcerting world and enjoy!
