An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro

An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro

Masuji Ono, an ageing painter once celebrated for artwork supporting Japanese militarism before the war, must now reckon with his complicity as post-war Japanese society quietly moves on and his own daughters navigate marriage negotiations shadowed by his compromised past.

Ishiguro's characteristic unreliable narration lets Ono's self-justifying memories slowly reveal the genuine moral weight of his wartime choices, and the novel's quiet examination of denial, legacy and generational change anticipates the themes that would earn Ishiguro the Nobel Prize.

An early masterwork from Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro.
