NOCTURNES - KAZUO ISHIGURO TASCHENBUCH

* Kazuo Ishiguro's new novel Klara and the Sun is now available *  In Nocturnes  Kazuo Ishiguro
explores ideas of love  music and the passing of time. From the piazzas of Italy to the
'hush-hush floor' of an exclusive Hollywood Hotel  the characters we encounter range from young
dreamers to cafe musicians to faded stars  all of them at some moment of reckoning.   Gentle 
intimate and witty  this quintet is marked by a haunting theme - the struggle to keep alive a
sense of life's romance  even as one gets older  relationships founder and youthful hopes
recede.  '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.'
Observer    '[They] come up on you quietly  but then haunt you for days . These little pieces
could only be the work of a great composer.' Evening Standard   'A fine and moving collection
of stories  displaying his unique combination of the sad  the stoic and the consoling. It's
about failure  but it dignifies failure  and with it  the human condition.' Margaret Drabble
