Kazuo Ishiguro
After recently winning the Nobel Prize in Literature 2017, this is another chance to see his 2015 interview at Hay Festival, where he spoke to Martha Kearney for Talking Books.
Born in Nagasaki, Japan, British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro is one of the most celebrated contemporary fiction authors in the world. He has been nominated for the Man Booker four times and won the 1989 award for his novel 'The Remains of the Day', which was later made into an Oscar-nominated film starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. Whilst most of his works are set in the past, he trod a different path with his 2005 work 'Never Let Me Go', which explores themes of futurism and the consequences of scientific developments. After recently winning the Nobel Prize in Literature 2017, this is another chance to see his 2015 interview at Hay Festival, where he spoke to Martha Kearney for Talking Books about his notable career, and revealed why his novel the Buried Giant was his first in almost ten years.
