I‘m a huge fan of Ishiguro. I find it fascinating that through most if his books he stays very close to his main themes – memory, introspection, self-deception – while playing with and exploring various different genres: historical, dystopia, detective, fantasy... The Buried Giant for example is a quite unsual fantasy novel, one that really moved me.



Have you read A Sense of an Ending, by Julian Barnes? It's a stunning exploration of those same themes: memory, introspection, self-deception.


Yes, I have, and I enjoyed it! Thanks for the tip.
