The fiction of Kazuo Ishiguro, winner of the Noble Prize in Literature in 2017 and the prestigious Booker Prize for his novel The Remains of the Day in 1989, is characterized by a recognizable style and a set of themes which run through most of his novels, from A Pale View of Hills (1982) to The Buried Giant (2015): memory, history, cultural and personal identity, self-delusion, nostalgia, guilt and trauma. In the seminar, we will investigate Ishiguro's fictional world by reading and critically discussing three of his novels: The Remains of the Day (1989), When We Were Orphans (2000) and The Buried Giant (2015). There will be a place for everybody who is interested and willing to participate – so please buy the novels and start reading as soon as you can. |
