Kazuo Ishiguro might be a genius
I have only read Never let me go and I’m already in the camp that this dude is a genius
He is masterful and quietly building his themes. I feel like he only shows never tells, he has an unreliable narrator who is also not telling us her inner life bc it is written like she’s telling someone a story so the whole time you have to infer from actions, dialogue, etc
Then at the very end he finally tells a little bit and it’s like the scaffolding of her complete acceptance of her reality he spent so long creating just crumbles around you and you’re left in ruins
It’s so quietly sad up until the end when you realize somehow he has led you to this breaking point and you’re crying and not even fully sure how you got here
