![]() ![]() Klara, the novel’s eponymous main character and narrator is an AF, or “artificial friend”. The questions are as compelling as they have always been, but occasionally this fabulistic framing becomes a crutch, as Ishiguro’s hand at times weighs a bit too heavy on the scale. The novelexplores what it means to be human through how we connect with others and come to understand ourselves. Klara and the Sun will be very familiar to fans of Ishiguro’s work, as he’s once again using a fabulistic, science-fiction lens to look at existential questions humanity has pondered for millennia. But rather than rest on his laurels, the knighted, Booker Award winning, and Nobel laureate author is back with Klara and the Sun, his first new work since winning the Nobel Prize in literature in 2017, and his first novel since 2015’s The Buried Giant. Kazuo Ishiguro is an author at the top of his craft. ![]()
