A review by rosalindamg
An Artist of the Floating World, by Kazuo Ishiguro
2.0
I don't really get Kazuo Ishiguro. When reading him I feel as if I'm supposed to decipher riddles. I understand his words but not the point he's trying to make. if any.
There are, in my opinion, far superior and more subtle books that treat most of the same topics; for instance the Makioka Sisters by Tanizaki. There are authors whose passages of quotidian things are more enjoyable and beautiful, such as Haruki Murakami.
Ishiguro is just not for me.
