ISHIGURO, Kazuo.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

A Pale View of Hills. First American edition, signed by the author, the copy of the director Paul Schrader. The New York Times noted that "its characters, whose bursts of self-knowledge and honesty erase their inspired self-deceptions only briefly, are remarkably convincing. It is filled with surprise and written with considerable charm. But what one remembers is its balance, halfway between elegy and irony".A Pale View of Hills was first published two months earlier in the UK and received the Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize. In 2017 Ishiguro was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, the judges writing that he, "in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world".
