Comprising contributions from world-leading Ishiguro scholars as well as new voices, the collection offers chapters devoted to each of the major works, each of which draws out thematic and stylistic connections with his body of work, both literary and filmic. This timely study, following the critical and popular success of his most recent fiction and his recognition by the Nobel committee, is the only comprehensive study of an author at the forefront of world literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: ‘This is the way it feels to me’: the writings of Kazuo Ishiguro – Kristian Shaw and Peter Sloane\u003cbr\u003e1 Diaspora, trauma, spectrality and world literary writing in \u003ci\u003eA Pale View of Hills\u003c\/i\u003e – Emily Horton\u003cbr\u003e2 Eloquence and empathy in \u003ci\u003eA Pale View of Hills \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAn Artist of the Floating World\u003c\/i\u003e – Cynthia F.
