CANCELLED Kazuo Ishiguro: An Artist of the Fictional World

The imagined worlds of celebrated British author, screenwriter, and musician, Kazuo Ishiguro, are subtly layered stories unfolding in deliberate and often unexpected ways. Winner of the 2005 Booker Prize and the 2017 Nobel Prize for Literature, Ishiguro explores the notions of self and memory in shifting historical and futuristic perspectives. He is described as an author who, "in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusionary sense of connection with the world." Join us for a deep exploration and discussion of four of Ishiguro's novels, which span his remarkable writing career. We will start with An Artist of the Floating World (Vintage Books, 1986) and continue with The Remains of the Day (Vintage Books, 1989), Never Let Me Go (Vintage Books 2005) and Klara and the Sun (Vintage Books, 2021).
