“Ishiguro repeatedly frustrates any hopes for a usual narrative trajectory, muffles noise, and hints at things which are never explicitly revealed. It is because of this that, despite the language being simple, despite every action and event being clearly described, we end up with such a thoroughly enigmatic novel”
—John Self on Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant.

Unambiguous about loving the ambiguous. It’s the only way to be. Errr…
He’s already getting stick for it, I hear. Haven’t read it yet, so can’t have an opinion. But I expect a lot of crap to be talked about both The Buried Giant and Landmarks in the next couple of months.
Ishiguro will no doubt be attacked for commiting heresy by both sides. For the heresy of being genre by the literary community and for the heresy of being literary and ambiguous by the genre community. How very dare he be something that doesn’t sit easily within our boundaries.
As for Landmarks I’m not forced to be au fait with the cliques who will be debating around that, so I shall simply enjoy reading it and not worrying.
Wise words. Some writers, & these are two of them, you won’t allow anyone else’s opinion to spoil for you (though god knows they work hard enough at it).
