Okay... my title is a little tongue in cheek (I'm thinking of Ishiguro's
Japanese novels). Both of these books are about kids in extraordinary circumstances. I have been looking forward to
Never Let Me Go as it has been on so many lists of books to read. By this time I feel I have a handle on his writing style and I revere him for his genius and subtlety. Any writer who evokes emotion and stimulates thought is a god in my humble opinion and Kazuo's books will be re-read on a yearly basis. These two books in particular will have to be re-read before I can truly write properly about them. For now I have labeled them
The Ishiguro Bildungsromans.
