No consolation

The Unconsoled

"The Works of Kazuo Ishiguro: Inconsolable," the fourth in the "Kazuo Ishiguro Works Series," embodies Ishiguro's signature style, with a simple exterior and a powerful inner core. The novel depicts a pianist's enigmatic journey through a few days in an enigmatic city. He is alternately a bystander, then drawn into the action. The people he encounters are all deeply devoted yet stubbornly obsessed; the events he encounters are bizarre, absurd, and full of uncertainty. In this city where people's hearts are shaped by idiosyncratic artistic values, as he struggles to find an outlet for his dreams and an explanation for all that is happening, he gradually realizes that he is facing the most arduous performance of his life.
