A beautiful , well crafted readers book.
Its been a while since I read this one. I remembered it being a subtle yet powerful piece of story telling. I was right.
Its a rarity, a science fiction novel (of sorts) from one of the recognized greats of modern literature. It has a quiet pace, rarely getting overexcited but creeping inexorably towards the conclusion that you kind of know is coming, but you don't want to accept, the early part of the book leaves clues as to the purpose of the group of protagonists , it sort of became clear to me, but i thought "no , that cant be right". But slowly and surely, it becomes clear that it is.
Its a tale of a certain kind of society, a certain kind of mindset that is seen in elitist circles/govt , and the willful denial that is seen in the subjects of these rulers, probably prevalent in prewar Germany. We can ignore what is happening as long as we survive/prosper, but turned on its head,, well maybe not turned on its head but "skewed"
Its also a story of friendship and growing up, discovery and weirdly, acceptance.
But what I love most about this book, is not the story in itself, though it is pretty damn good, or the characterization, again, very well done. But the overall easy, relaxed and seductive pace of the piece. The incredibly well crafted structure and the nuances of Ishiguro´s use of language. Its beautiful, a readers book. Not easy to describe to others, at least not without giving the plot away but well worth the time, and will leave you wanting others to read it.
I was reminded of it by the appearance of the movie, which I still haven't watched, as I don't want to tarnish the books image in my head. Saying that, I have heard the films not too shabby, so I may give it a try one day, Its been sat on my shelf for a good while now waiting to be watched.
