Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall
by Kazuo Ishiguro
This book really is Kazuo Ishiguro at his best. Each of these stories could easily have been developed into beautiful novels, but they are incredible as they stand alone. I love Ishiguro's style of writing, he has a certain way around words and it is absolutely beautiful. I loved all of the stories, but I think the first one, Crooner, was my favourite.
These short stories deal with fame, music, love, loss, hopes, dreams, the future and the past. And they do so magnificently Never getting overly emotional or overly involved. Always keeping things slightly at a distance, which just makes the truth in the stories stand out even more clearly.
The stories are not long, the book is just 220 pages, but they are beautiful and well-worth reading.
