INTRODUCTION
1
Briefly introduces Ishiguro s biography and notes its impact on how Ishiguro has
been perceived, then provides an alternative perspective for reading his novels and
a brief summary of the Guide.
CHAPTER ONE
5
Bad Memories: A Pale View of Hills
(1982)
Surveys the reviews of Ishiguro s first novel. After examining the tendency to read
Ishiguro as a Japanese author, the chapter outlines Gregory Mason s work on the
influence of Japanese film on Ishiguro s fiction and presents the debate between
those who read this novel as a sociological or historical primer and those who deny
this approach, including the role of Nagasaki in the novel. The chapter then turns
to the novel s reticence, the various ways of reading the relationship between the
characters Etsuko and Sachiko, the novel s connection of guilt and ghosts, and
the novel s imagery.
CHAPTER TWO
25
A Troubled Artist s Art: An Artist of the Floating World
(1987)
Discusses the reviews of Ishiguro s second
novei.
After investigating the response
to Ishiguro s use of a Japanese setting, the chapter considers Barry Lewis s work
on ishiguro s use of a fiimic lens before focusing on the numerous evaluations of
Ono,
his manipulations of the narrative, and their significance.
CHAPTER THREE
43
The Remains of the Day
(1993):
Reception and Narration
Considers the reviews of Ishiguro s third novel. After discussing key investigations of
the narration by Margaret Scanlan and Deborah Guth, the chapter turns to Kathleen
Wall s investigation of the unique nature of unreliability in the novel and James Phelan
and Mary Patricia Martin s consideration of the ethics of unreliability before conclud¬
ing with Andrew Teverson s examination of occasions of reading In the novel.
CHAPTER FOUR
61
The Remains of the Day
2:
Historical and
Postcolonial
Readings
Focuses on historical and
postcolonial
approaches to Ishiguro s third novel,
including John Sutherland s explanation of the Suez Crisis, John P. McCombe s
presentation of the Anglo-American tensions as they appear in the novel,
Bo J. Ekelund s reading of the novel s various genres, and James Lang s com¬
plication of historical interpretations.
Postcolonial
analyses of the novel include
Susie O Brien s contrast of the old values of England and the new values of the
United States and Molly
Westerman s
attempt to extend the work done by narra¬
tive theorists by adding a layer of
postcolonial
analysis.
CHAPTER FIVE
84
The Remains of the Day
3:
Interdisciplinary Approaches
Surveys the various interdisciplinary responses to Ishiguro s third novel, including
Lillian Furst s use of the anatomy of memory errors proposed by psychologist Daniel
L. Schacter, John J. Su s reading of nostalgia that leads to a discussion of the ethos
embodied in Stevens s journey, Kwame Anthony Appiah s use of the novel to make
a case for the moral power of individualism, David Medalie s investigation of the
difficulty of discussions of dignity, and legal scholar Rob Atkinson s comparison of
Stevens s relationship with Lord Darlington to that of a lawyer and client to illustrate
the ethical difficulties in serving.
CHAPTER SIX
102
Who are The Unconsoled
(1995)
and Where Do They Live?
Investigates the powerful, and divided, response to Ishiguro s fourth novel before
outlining the world that the novel creates and the propensity to respond to the novel
in terms of dreams and nightmares. After introducing Ishiguro s appropriations
technique, this chapter turns to Cynthia Wong s postmodern framing of the novel
and Pierre
François
psychoanalytic reading.
CHAPTER SEVEN
123
Detecting the Past: When We Were Orphans
(2000)
Through a discussion of the varied responses to ishiguro s fifth novel, this chapter
highlights the novel s similarities to Ishiguro s earlier novels and his use of the ap¬
propriation technique. After outlining the discussions of the novel s narrative and
prose and Banks s character, the chapter considers the novel as a detective story,
Alexander M. Bain s essay on the portrayal of the failure of the international com¬
munity, and the roles of memory and children in the novel.
CHAPTER EIGHT
137
Questioning the Possibles: Never Let Me Go
(2005)
Surveys the range of positive responses that greeted Ishiguro s sixth novel, includ¬
ing discussions of the
noveľs
instigation of ethical debates and its portrayal of
childhood. The novel then turns to two scholarly responses: Rebecca Walkowitz s
reading of the novel as a critique of individuality, and Bruce Robbins s consider¬
ation of the banality of Ishiguro s themes.
CONCLUSION
148
Considers recent work that has been done on Ishiguro s novels and Ishiguro s work
in film before turning to gaps in the response to his novels and a discussion of his
status as an international writer.
