A review by embi
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro

4.0

I think Ishiguro is one of those writers where you have to already know things to know things, if you see what I mean. His work can be very vague, and if you're not paying attention all the time you will miss things. That then leads to the impression that nothing's happening.

In this book, I think the vagueness of the world really works as it's almost an extension of the forgetting that is afflicting the characters. It's not usually something I like, but it fits here. YMMV.
