🔽🔽 読書記録 🔽🔽
カズオ•イシグロ作品ということは文体が美しい、というのは期待どおり。彼の作品はいつもノスタルジアが漂っているけどこの本はノスタルジアこそが大きなテーマ。
主人公クリストファーは上海での少年時代いつも友人のアキラと遊んでいた。楽しい優しい思い出。
その後イングランドで有名な探偵となった彼はやっとあるミッションのために上海へ戻る。両親を見つけるために。

作者はきちんと順序追っては説明してくれない。どこまでが事実でどこからが想像か。
クリストファーは上海の街を目隠し状態で動き回る。
固く信じている事実は本当に事実なのか。
さすがカズオ•イシグロ。

🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
It’s a book from Ishiguro, so the writing is beautiful, that’s given.
Nostalgia, it is the big theme in this book, full of fun and tender memories.

Christopher and Akira playing innocently during their childhood in Shanghai. After growing up to become a detective in England, though through some slow confusions, Christopher finally decides to take on a mission, the reality, of the disappearance of his parents.

Ishiguro doesn’t explain things in a chronological order.
How much is real, how much is carefully made up?

He goes wondering around the city of Shanghai blindly without a solid clue or valid understanding, as he is wondering around in his memories.
Beautifully written.
