The English author Kazuo Ishiguro was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday for what the prize committee in Sweden said were works that uncovered “the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world.”

The committee said on Twitter that Mr. Ishiguro, who moved to Britain when he was 5 years old, was most associated with the themes of memory, time and self-delusion.
“The Remains of the Day” (1989), perhaps his best-known work, was turned into a film starring Anthony Hopkins as the butler Stevens.
“Ishiguro’s writings are marked by a carefully restrained mode of expression, independent of whatever events are taking place,” the prize committee wrote in a statement after the announcement. “At the same time, his more recent fiction contains fantastic features.”
Citing the dystopian work “Never Let Me Go” (2005), the committee said that Mr. Ishiguro introduced “a cold undercurrent of science fiction into his work.”
In assessing his latest novel, “The Buried Giant." (2015), the committee praised the novel for the way it explored, “in a moving manner, how memory relates to oblivion, history to the present, and fantasy to reality.”(NYTimes)

First of all, thank you for sharing the news.
I read the news right now on the Korean newspaper in Korea,
but description of Mr. Kazuo Ishiguro (1954 -) was so sketchy
and I read about the award on NY Times edition on 10/5, today.
I want to share more information about Mr. Ishiguro with his
personal information by wikipedia.org;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazuo_Ishiguro
And I shall add his film adaptation after my work of the day
- "The Remains of the Day (1993)" which I saw and was very
impressed. Thank you and see you later.
