- Inhalt
- It was a Thursday when Kazuo Ishiguro accepted his Nobel Prize for literature. In his speech, he recounts how he became an author, how his childhood in Japan formed his identity as a writer and how important it is to always keep an open mind. The board of the committee deigned Ishiguro to be a writer "who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world". Indeed, the novels of Kazuo Ishiguro are filled to be the brim with issues of identity, and the question what is right and what is wrong.
This seminar serves as an introduction to Ishiguro s works and the resulting issues. The participants are expected to have read at the beginning of the semester:
A Pale View of Hills (1982)
Never Let Me Go (2005)
The Buried Giant (2015)
Excerpts from other novels/short stories will be available on the VC at the beginning of the semester.
