Kazuo Ishiguro - Part Two
Alan Yentob interviews the celebrated novelist, screenwriter and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Sir Kazuo Ishiguro.
Alan Yentob interviews the celebrated novelist and screenwriter Sir Kazuo Ishiguro. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, his novels and short stories have been translated into more than fifty languages. The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go were made into award winning films. Born in Nagasaki in 1954, Ishiguro moved to England with his family at the age of five. He discusses the influence of Japan and Britain in the formation of his outlook and his writing. Kazuo and Alan chart the progress across his writing career, this time covering the dystopian and fantasy settings of Never Let Me Go and The Buried Giant. Ishirugo talks about the development of ideas that led to his much-anticipated eighth novel Klara and the Sun, published in March 2021. In 2017 Ishiguro was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. His work is much beloved by a new generation of writers such as Hanya Yanagihara who speaks about the influence his writing has had on them personally and on the wider literary world.
