Sir Kazuo Ishiguro (カズオ・イシグロ or 石黒 一雄), OBE, FRSA, FRSL is a British novelist of Japanese origin and Nobel Laureate in Literature (2017). His family moved to England in 1960. Ishiguro obtained his Bachelor's degree from the University of Kent in 1978 and his Master's from the University of East Anglia's creative writing course in 1980. He became a British citizen in 1982. He now lives in London.
His first novel, A Pale View of Hills, won the 1982 Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize. His second novel, An Artist of the Floating World, won the 1986 Whitbread Prize. Ishiguro received the 1989 Man Booker prize for his third novel The Remains of the Day. His fourth novel, The Unconsoled, won the 1995 Cheltenham Prize. His latest novel is The Buried Giant, a New York Times bestseller. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 2017.
His novels An Artist of the Floating World (1986), When We Were Orphans (2000), and Never Let Me Go (2005) were all shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
In 2008, The Times ranked Ishiguro 32nd on their list of "The 50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945". In 2017, the Swedish Academy awarded him the Nobel Prize in Literature, describing him in its citation as a writer "who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world".
From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.
Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.
Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.
Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.
【读品】罗豫/文 一群孩子在一所特别的学校长大。他们之间有友谊、妒忌、取笑、欺骗……与正常的孩子别无二致。唯一不同的是,他们从小被灌输了一套关于自己人生责任的学说:他们活着,就是为了向外面世界的人提供器官。一次次捐赠后,他们会越来越虚弱,最终光荣实现人生意义...
评分这本书的前4/5不像科幻小说,更像青春小说。青春期的困惑与自我的认识伴随着他们长大。连最后那个结局,都更像青春小说的结局,每一段刻骨铭心的成长都包藏着一个秘密。 never let me go,中文译作《千万别丢下我》,似乎英文原意并未如中文的呼天抢地,但也没想到合适的说法...
评分 评分石黑一雄也是看以前恺蒂的介绍,说起来就是他文笔如何如何好,这次读这本小说其实才是第一次看他的一整部作品。果然文笔细腻,文字间有一种洁净感。有种说法叫做“精神上的洁癖”,我怀疑作者就是这类人。 看他写露丝就知道了。在整个故事所笼罩的黑色气氛中,揭示人性弱点和自...

听的英文有声书。好慢慢悠悠的调子,没有什么特别快或者连贯的情节,就是生活中这些那些的小事,最后有个稍微有点惊奇的背景。
评分慕名来读。一开始很虚幻,一头雾水。越往后越清晰。Ishiguro似乎总是在一段的最后铺垫出下文,但好多重磅情节却轻描淡写地一笔带过。哥特式的文风,值得思考的主题。
评分不言明的悲伤
评分我想给四星半。最后30页眼泪劈里啪啦地掉。沉淀一下再写它
评分读的我很痛苦
