Kazuo Ishiguro, Nobel Price for Literature

Ishiguro is one of my favourite authors. A few years back, I read An Artist of the Floating World. A few years later, Remains of the Day. Then Never Let Me Go. Last year, The Buried Giant. He is a writer of great complexity and depth. As you read for character and plot, you realize there is a story behind the story, a story with deep historical significance. The Buried Giant, set in early Britain,  is a journey tale but its theme is memory and forgetting, especially about forgetting the brutalities of the past, a significant theme for today.
