Kazuo Ishiguro cover

This is the first work of criticism to reappraise all of this leading transnational author’s film, television, short fiction and novel writing following his award of the Nobel Prize in 2017. Comprising contributions from world-leading Ishiguro scholars as well as new voices, the collection offers chapters devoted to each of the major works, each of which draws out thematic and stylistic connections with his body of work, both literary and filmic. This timely study, following the critical and popular success of his most recent fiction and his recognition by the Nobel committee, is the only comprehensive study of an author at the forefront of world literature.

'Shaw and Sloan have compiled a rich and wide-ranging collection on 2017 Nobel Literature Laureate Kazuo Ishiguro... This edited work adds to and extends the criticism of Ishiguro’s work with novel and fresh perspectives, and will be of interest to those who read and study world and comparative literatures.'
