An Artist of the Floating World, by Kazuo Ishiguro

4.0

An artist of the floating world explores human memory, guilt and thoughts in a unique way. I was able to get my hands on the 30 year anniversary edition, and reading Ishiguro's intentions and the way this story came about was insightful and gave me a certain way of viewing this piece. Similar to his later work, the novel explores how warped perception is when viewing it from a specific person's view and no one does it quite like Ishiguro. No doubt, when reading his work there's always a need for discussion, for introspection and reflection - exactly what I love most about reading.
