Kazuo Ishiguro gets the Nobel prize

This year's Nobel prize winners were revealed. Kazuo Ishiguro won the Nobel prize in literature.

The Guardian: Kazuo Ishiguro wins the Nobel prize in literature 2017

Ishiguro is a British writer, but formerly a Japanese. He was born in Nagasaki in 1954. He went to the UK in his childhood because of his father's work. He learned English literature and was naturalized to the British in 1983.


One of his representative work is "Never let me go." It was published in 2005. It describes some young persons long living at an institution. The intention of the administrator of this facility was hidden at first. But later, it is revealed that the residents were grown up to give organs to wealthy people.

The storyline is similar to other thrillers. But the atmosphere around the story is unique. Casts are confused, even partially accepting their fate. I watched this work on the TV cinema. The original novel was a little difficult for me.

Congratulations, Mr. Ishiguro. I will read other stories written by him.
