The Unconsoled

1995 | Fiction & Poetry

Ryder, a renowned pianist, arrives in a Central European city he cannot identify for a concert he cannot remember agreeing to give. But then as he traverses a landscape by turns eerie and comical – and always strangely malleable, as a dream might be - he comes steadily to realise he is facing the most crucial performance of his life.

Ishiguro's extraordinary and original study of a man whose life has accelerated beyond his control was met on publication by consternation, vilification – and the highest praise.

Book Rating
I absolutely loved reading this book. I am a great fan of Kazuo Ishiguro and this is the fourth book I have read by him. The concept of memory and the dream-like state of the book is fascinating and kept me enthralled throughout. My one warning about this book is the author describes it as an “anxiety dream” and I think this is definitely accurate. I spent the entire time stressed about the forgotten engagement and lack of control the main character had over his own story. But Ishiguro pulled it off so well!
