Unconsoled

Unconsoled

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2017<br /> <br /> Ryder, a renowned pianist, arrives in a Central European city he cannot identify for a concert he cannot remember agreeing to give. But then as he traverses a landscape by turns eerie and comical - and always strangely malleable, as a dream might be - he comes steadily to realise he is facing the most crucial performance of his life.<br /> <br /> Ishiguro&#39;s extraordinary and original study of a man whose life has accelerated beyond his control was met on publication by consternation, vilification - and the highest praise.<br /> <br /> If you enjoyed The Unconsoled, you might also like Ishiguro&#39;s The Remains of the Day, now available in Faber Modern Classics.
