| Abstract | "How has a writer known principally for his contained domestic novels come to represent the most dynamic elements of world literature? This book expands our understanding of how world literature engages with pressing crises of the 20th and 21st centuries by examining the ways in which Ishiguro foregrounds those who fail to comprehend their place in the flow of politics, culture, and ideas. Holmes positions Ishiguro as the great chronicler of everyday lives, and as such, prepares a mode of reading world literature that questions the assumptions for how we live with others when each of us is deeply limited"-- Provided by publisher. |
