Fiction
The Remains of the Day: Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
Stevens the butler embarks on a country drive that becomes a journey through thirty years of devoted service and missed opportunities. Ishiguro captures the voice of a man who has spent his life perfecting self-deception. The English countryside passes by the car windows while Stevens' memories reveal the cost of absolute duty. The prose maintains perfect control, like the butler himself, until small cracks begin to show. This finds readers who appreciate how the most devastating revelations can arrive wrapped in impeccable manners.
