    Extractions: Kazuo Ishiguro (1954 - ) Fiction A Pale View of Hills An Artist of the Floating World The Remains of the Day The Unconsoled Biographical Summary Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain in 1960. He attended the University of Kent at Canterbury and the University of East Anglia. He now lives in London. Reviews An Artist of the Floating World (1986) , by Kazuo Ishiguro The memorial mindscapes of Kazuo Ishiguro's fiction find an appropriate metaphor in the tendency of Masuji Ono, the narrator of Ishiguro's second novel, An Artist of the Floating World : "It is perhaps a sign of my advancing years," admits Ono, "that I have taken to wandering into rooms for no purpose." Ishiguro's narrators do wander through the rooms of their memories, and their conscious intentions in doing so are often subverted by the profound workings of memory itself: its ellipses and elisions, its divisions and conflations, its distortions of the past and conflicts with present experience. In this intricate, ironic novel, Ishiguro explores the ways in which individual memory and national history can amount to acts of (necessary) self-deception. Ono is an artist who had, in his youth, lived and moved in the "floating world": "the night-time world of pleasure, entertainment and drink which formed the backdrop for all our paintings," a realm of bohemian pleasure and remote purity that shaped the artistic aesthetic of pre-war Japan. But Ono's eventual rebellion against his teachers and his vision of a stronger, more vital Japan led him to turn his art into propagandistic campaigns, serving the imperialist movement that brought Japan into World War II. Now, living in an unnamed, devastated city in the post-war 1940s, surrounded by images of loss, paranoia, and recrimination, Ono finds himself reconsidering his life and workhis own part in creating a world that has come to reject him.

    Extractions: Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain in 1960. At the time, his parents thought that they would soon return to Japan and they prepared him to resume life in his native land. They ended up staying, and Ishiguro grew up straddling two societies, the Japan of his parents and his adopted England. Ishiguro attended the University of Kent at Canterbgury and the University of East Anglia. All three of his novels have received critical acclaim. His first novel, A Pale View of Hills , won the Winifred Holtby Prize of the Royal Society of Literature; his second, An Artist of the Floating World, won the 1986 Whitbread Book of the year Award ; The Remains of the Day was awarded the 1989 Booker Prize. In all three of his books the protagonist looks back on his or her life, trying to assess the events that have shaped it. In A Pale View of Hills , Ishiguro's first novel, a widow in post-war Japan recalls her life in Nagasaki. Characteristically, Ishiguro tells the story without once mentioning the Bomb, just as the Suez Crisis of 1956 silently stands behind

    Extractions: Buy it online "For a long time writers who wrote English literature felt they did not need to think consciously about whether they were international or not. They could write about the smallest details of English society and it was, by definition, of interest to people in the far corners of the world because English culture itself was something that was internationally important." See Book Reviews on January Magazine. Eighteen years after his first book, A Pale View of Hills was published, Kazuo Ishiguro, thinks that he has his early success figured out. Ishiguro feels that in the early 1980s when he was arriving on the scene, publishers in Great Britain had, "a great hunger for this kind of new internationalism. After quite a long time of people being preoccupied with the English class system or the middle-class adultery novel or whatever, publishers in London and literary critics and journalists in London suddenly wanted to discover a new generation of writers who would be quite different from your typical older generation of English writer." Born in Nagaski in 1954, Ishiguro's family moved to England in 1960 expecting to return to Japan in a year, although they remained in Britain. Ishiguro, whose friends, he says, call him "Ish," attended the University of Kent and the University of East Anglia. On the surface, Ishiguro has achieved the perfect balance of those who immigrate at a very young age. He is, of course, Japanese. But his speech and mannerisms are absolutely British and his accent and way of speaking give away his education and upbringing as well as anything could.

    Extractions: Etsuko war diesen Weg gegangen. Gemeinsam mit ihrer Tochter Keiko war sie einige Jahre nach dem Krieg weggegangen; hatte ihren Mann verlassen, um mit einem Ausländer zusammen zu leben. Niki, die Tochter aus dieser Beziehung, wurde bereits in England geboren - ohne die Probleme, mit denen Keiko zu kämpfen hat. Keiko ist tot. Nachdem sie sich immer mehr von der Familie zurückgezogen hatte, ausgezogen war, hatte sie sich eines Tages erhängt. Niki war nicht am Begräbnis; aber als sie nun ihre Mutter für ein paar Tage besucht, merken beide, dass Keikos Zimmer immer noch ein unangenehmes Gefühl in ihnen hervorruft. Niki kommt in den Gesprächen immer wieder auf den großen Schritt zurück, den ihre Mutter damals unternommen hatte; und Etsuko quält sich in Träumen und Gedanken mit ihren Rückblicken - auf damals, in Nagasaki.

    Extractions: Who is Kazuo Ishiguro? Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, on 8 th November, 1954. In 1960 his family moved to England, where he has lived ever since. At that time, his parents thought that they would soon return to Japan and they prepared him to resume life in his native land. They ended up staying, and Ishiguro grew up straddling two societies, the Japan of his parents and his adopted England. "Today," he says, "I have that sense of having just left without saying goodbye and of this whole other world just kind of fading away.... I have the feeling of this completely alternative person I should have become. There was another life that I might have had, but I am having this one." Ishiguro was schooled at the University of Kent at Canterbury and the University of East Anglia. As a boy he dreamed of becoming a musician. For a while he played at clubs and sent demo tapes to music publishers, all of whom rejected them: "They would listen to them for fifteen seconds and say 'Hideous! Don't like it, mate. Get out!'" Ishiguro claims to have "drifted into" writing. "It wasn't necessarily what I wanted to do," he admits and speculates that writing "may be a consolation for something that got broken. The activity of re-creating the world on the page, finding alternative worlds, is a way of trying to fix that thing or caress that wound...a wound that will never heal."

    Extractions: Or search the encyclopaedia: Ishiguro, Kazuo Japanese-born British novelist. His novel An Artist of the Floating World won the 1986 Whitbread Prize, and The Remains of the Day , about an English butler coming to realize the extent of his self-sacrifice and self-deception, won the 1989 Booker Prize and was made into a successful film in 1993. His works, which are characterized by a sensitive style and subtle structure, also include The Unconsoled (1995), and When We Were Orphans (2000), which was shortlisted for the 2000 Booker Prize. Ishiguro moved with his family to England in 1960 and worked briefly as a social worker. He attended the creative writing course established by the late Malcolm Bradbury and Angus Wilson A Pale View of Hills (1982), takes place mainly in his native Nagasaki, dealing obliquely with the aftermath of the atom bomb.

    Extractions: E scritor británico de origen japonés. Ishiguro nació en Nagasaki; se trasladó a Inglaterra a los seis años y estudió en la Universidad de Kent antes de doctorarse en la Universidad de East Anglia en escritura creativa, curso creado e impartido por el escritor Malcolm Bradbury. Tras publicar varios cuentos y artículos en revistas durante 1980, publicó su primera novela Pálida luz en las colinas (1982), por la que ganó el premio Winifred Holtby. Por su siguiente novela, Un artista del mundo flotante (1986), ganó el premio Whitbread de Literatura. Los restos del día (1989) fue ampliamente elogiada y le valió el Booker Prize. La novela narra en primera persona los recuerdos de un mayordomo inglés que evoca su carrera en tono presuntuoso y reprimido, consciente de sus deberes, y pone de manifiesto cuánto le ha costado su vida de servicio; la conclusión, por su reticencia, resulta angustiosa en tanto que manifiesta una vida perdida y no recuperable. El manejo admirable de una narrativa y unos personajes intrínsecamente ingleses, apoyados en investigaciones rigurosas de los detalles históricos, despertaron una gran admiración y el libro fue llevado al cine en 1993 con la participación de Anthony Hopkins y Enma Thompson, con el título Lo que queda del día. Su siguiente novela sorprendió a los críticos. El desconsolado (1995) no podía ser más distinta que su predecesora: un largo relato de pesadilla, surrealista y virtualmente sin argumento, que recuerda a Kafka. Ambientado en un no especificado país europeo, trata de la visita de un pianista que se supone está interpretando un concierto que parece estar condenado a no llegar a producirse, mientras los siniestros fragmentos de las vidas y conversaciones de la gente de la ciudad giran a su alrededor. ©

    Extractions: Der zweite Weltkrieg ist seit ein paar Jahren vorbei, aber die Spuren der Zerstörung sind noch allerorten sichtbar; auch das wunderbare Haus, dass Masuji Ono kurz vor dem Krieg auf so seltsame Weise erwerben konnte. Immer noch zählte hier in Japan das Ansehen, das eine Familie genoss, sehr viel; und an Ansehen hatte es ihm in der Vergangenheit nicht gefehlt. Er war einer der führenden Maler Japans; seine Stimme wurde gehört, und er hatte seinen Einfluss intensiv genutzt, um die Ideale, an die er glaubte, zu unterstützen. Aber nun, nach dem Krieg, zählen diese Ideale nicht mehr, muss er merken. Seine Töchter sehen ihn scheel an, verübeln ihm, dass die Heiratspläne der Jüngeren so offensichtlich an seiner Vergangenheit scheiterten, auch wenn die offiziell dargebrachten Gründe in eine ganz andere Richtung wiesen, die ihn das Gesicht wahren halfen.
