Description
"Kazuo Ishiguro's Gestural Poetics explores some of the more radical thematic and formal aspects of the writing of this most distinctive of novelists. Marked by great subtlety of expression, a clarity and precision of prose that is in tension with the often profound unreliability of the speaking subject, the surface of Ishiguro's novels belie the aggressively radical content. In readings of his exploration of empathy and the ethics of reading the posthuman, post-WWII politics and anti-Americanism, the deconstruction of the possibility of 'history', and the Kafka-esque psychogeographies of his fictional spaces, Peter Sloane places Ishiguro in the context of a late modernist aesthetic, one that is informed by the intervening rise and fall of the postmodern."--
