Ishiguro

Here are the novels Ishiguro has written. I just finished Never Let Me Go last night and highly recommend it, the ending is an epiphany. Many of Ishiguro's main characters seem afflicted by some deep childhood wound or trauma that affects every aspect of their adult outlook and behavior. They typically betray similar feelings of sadness and regret. This sense of malaise has its roots in another long standing obsession of Ishiguro's - the strained relationships between parents and children, which is made much clearer in his last novel.

I loved When We Were Orphans though got more personally out of reading Never Let Me Go. I plan on finishing reading Remains of the Day next. In some odd manner,reading Ishiguro is the literary equivalent of watching an emotional and thought provoking episode of Six Feet Under.
