Kazuo Ishiguro

Allyboo

I read Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro at the same time as I was completing my autism assessment in November 2021. I'd never read any of his books before so was all new to me. I found it tied in very well with my exploration of autism and ongoing mental health recovery journey. I went on to enjoy reading his book The Remains of the Day (and watch the film) as well as watch (and get the DVD in time) of the film Living (released in cinemas last year https://youtu.be/-hCTXaQ1guE ) which he adapted from the Japanese original. I would like to chat with other Kazuo Ishiguro fans so am on the lookout  for any generally, are any of you interested in his work much?

  • I know that one, Klára and the Sun, but my real favourite is Never let me Go. There was a movie made about it too. It starts off as a school story where three children end up in a painful triangle. The story devolves into a pretty grim dystopia, as the children are special. They were created for a special purpose, one that they don't benefit from. 

    Brilliant tale!
