Product Information

One of the most celebrated writers of our time gives us his first cycle of short fiction: five brilliantly etched, interconnected stories in which music is a vivid and essential character. A once-popular singer, desperate to make a comeback, turning from the one certainty in his life . . . a man whose unerring taste in music is the only thing his closest friends value in him . . . a struggling singer-songwriter unwittingly involved in the failing marriage of a couple he's only just met . . . a gifted, underappreciated jazz musician who lets himself believe that plastic surgery will help his career . . . a young cellist whose tutor promises to "unwrap" his talent . . . Passion or necessity-- or the often uneasy combination of the two-- determines the place of music in each of these lives. And as a result, these men and women find themselves at a moment of reckoning: sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, sometimes just eluding their grasp. In an exploration of love, need, and the ineluctable force of the past, Ishiguro reveals these individuals to us with extraordinary precision and subtlety, and with the arresting psychological and emotional detail that has marked all of his acclaimed and best-selling works of fiction.

Reviews
Reviews from the UK: "A brilliant new book . . . Art, its dangers, its pains and its gaiety [are] all topics seriously considered in this accomplished book." Frank Kermode,London Review of Books "Spellbinding . . . Each of these stories is heartbreaking in its own way, but some have moments of great comedy, and they all require a level of attention that, typically, Ishiguro's writing rewards . . . The final story [is] exquisite." Observer "By now it is clear that this exquisite stylist is serious in his pursuit of a minimalperhaps even universalmode of expression for the emotional experiences that define our lives as human.Nocturnesis a set of poised and playful reflections on the falling away of sentiment . . . These stories recall Ishiguro's best known novel,The Remains of the Day. In their surreal touches they resonate withThe Unconsoled. And in their deceptively simple exploration of love and loss, they build on the achievement ofNever Let Me Go." The Times "It is hardly surprising that a writer as resonant, and as emotionally pitch-perfect, as Kazuo Ishiguro should be so keen on music . . . [The title story's] set-up is so beautifully engineered that it left me simultaneously gasping in admiration and shaking with laughter." Sunday Telegraph "These stories come up on you quietly, in Ishiguro's strangely weightless style [and] haunt you for days . . . A nocturne is a piece of music inspired by, or evocative of, the night . . . These little pieces could only be the work of a great composer." Evening Standard "Chopin is the composer most associated with the form [of the nocturne], bringing to it grace and beauty, fragility and poise, qualities conspicuous in this diverting collection of five stories by Kazuo Ishiguro . . . Serious as Ishiguro's intentions surely are, in these well-tempered, witty and droll stories he is more playful than he has ever been." Glasgow Herald "Ishiguro's volume has the quality of a song cycle, with recurring themes developed in different guises . . . They resonate long after the book is set aside." Daily Telegraph "It's hardly surprising that the arrival of a new Ishiguro book makes a reader eager to pounce on it . . . The quintet consists of first person narratives and each one is likeable, original and succeed in sustaining the reader to the final word . . . There are echoes of Somerset Maugham. But Ishiguro, the most literary of writers, is seldom derivative. [He is] a canny writer who is cool, poised and well capable of shifting directions and shaping surprises . . . Somehow he manages to say a great deal about the business of being alive." The Irish Times From the Hardcover edition.
