Have you ever read anything by Kazuo Ishiguro? I'm thinking in particular of The Unconsoled.
Thanks.

That makes sense. About it being first. It's something I should consider when I view his works, or any writer's, actually.

Have not read Ishiguro. Though I have his When we Were Orphans in paperback. Someone I need to read. There is consensus regarding his talent.

Thanks for the reminder!!
