English 1057 The Remains of the Day (1988)

Kazuo Ishiguro (1954-) -Father was an oceanographer -Born in Nagasaki; moved to England at age five -Educated in Kent, East Anglia -First novel 1982; seven in total so far -Feels he has a very “mixed” cultural identity which is neither strongly Japanese nor English

Themes in his novels -Ishiguro’s novels tend to have a strong post-modern style -Time is jumbled and narration cuts back and forth -Things aren’t clear; reality is inconsistent and subjective -Bad memories are repressed and denied but “bubble up” -E.g. Etsuko’s repression of memory after the bombings of Nagasaki

The Remains of the Day (1989) -Ishiguro’s third novel -Highly regarded and praised; winner of the Man Booker Prize in Film adaption with Anthony Hopkins (1993)

Themes -A butler’s “dignity” and social constraints -Loyalty and politics: Stevens defends his (Nazi?) employer, Lord Darlington -Love and duty: Stevens does not respond to Miss Kenton’s emotions or to his father -Memory: Stevens remembers in fragments. Are these memories consistent? How do they change?
