Kazuo Ishiguro
This branch of Silver's Literary WurlD is dedicated entirely to my favourite author, Kazuo Ishiguro. Born in Nagasaki, Japan, he moved to England when he was only six. I find him a really gifted writer, and I particularly love his style of writing which so often mimics and brings to life the characters of his novels.
Technically speaking, the first book of his I encountered was The Remains of the Day - I watched the LD when I was 13. The movie was great, but reading the book was an indescribable delight .The first book of his I actually read was A Pale View of Hills, which incidentally is his first book. I was only 14 then, but I was moved beyond words. This inspired me to find out more about this talented writer's other works, and I was further enchanted by his other works, An Artist of the Floating World and The Unconsolable.
Surfing the net, I was surprised to find so little information on him, hence I set up this page, in the hope of letting fellow netizens discover the beauty of his works. I have traversed the internet and collected all sorts of information on Kazuo Ishiguro, which I have organised into the following sections. Please do take your time to look around, and if you have any suggestions please feel free to contact me via e-mail or the form below. Have fun!
