So nice to see something good happening in the world. So good to see someone as deserving as Ishiguro win the Nobel Prize.
I heard clips of several of the many interviews he did yesterday. He talked about the many themes of his work -- how people miss opportunities, how they lie to themselves in order to continue in what would otherwise be intolerable situations. His work is varied and always profound. He said that, although he was raised in the UK, he grew up in a Japanese household, so he saw things through Japanese eyes. Sounds like a thesis for some graduate student somewhere.
Congratulations to a great writer, and, maybe more important these days, a good man.
