Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2017 'Almost certainly a masterpiece.' Anita Brookner
Ryder a renowned pianist arrives in a Central European city he cannot identify for a concert
he cannot remember agreeing to give. But then as he traverses a landscape by turns eerie and
comical - and always strangely malleable as a dream might be - he comes steadily to realise he
is facing the most crucial performance of his life. Ishiguro's extraordinary and original
study of a man whose life has accelerated beyond his control was met on publication by
consternation vilification - and the highest praise. If you enjoyed The Unconsoled you might
also like Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day now available in Faber Modern Classics.
