The story sweeps us in not through the imagination of its monsters and magic mists, but by a prose style so distinctive that everything it touches, however airy or potentially Shrek-like, becomes earthly, solid, with an emotional purchase usually reserved for the "real".Įvery journeyman strives for something different: the couple for a past with which they must reconcile the warrior for justice, whatever this entails Gawain has the unfinished business of slaying Querig, while the boy simply looks for his mother. Its surprise, and perhaps its achievement, is that Ishiguro has brought the same, beguilingly simple realism that infused his Man Booker winning historical novel, Remains of the Day (1989) and the SF dystopia, Never Let Me Go (2005) into this strange new universe.
