Kevin Spacey lookin ass

>>22620100
how? He looks nothing like him other than being old
do you mean he looks like a gay pedo?

>>22620098
I read The Remains of the Day and I dont get the hype, it was okay.

>>22620102
He literally look like Spacey run through the Asian faceapp setting.

I've only heard good things. I'm reading The Remains of the Day right now. It packs a punch-- hilarious at times, and devastating at others.

A failed screenwriter. Novelists who failed at screenwriting expose themselves as spaghetti prose pseuds, Lacking any sense of critical thinking and actual imagination

>>22620134
he just wrote an acclaimed film last year

I don't watch anime.

>>22620121
I always hated that one.

Me butler, me like my master. Oh wait, he Nazi. Never mind me no like now.

>>22620098
I've only read a pale view of the hills but I enjoyed it a lot. I don't usually like the unreliable narrator trope but the perspective of a grieving mother was good

>>22620098
He is great. I need to update the /lit/ chart with "Living," which would go in the bottom part of inessential works.

>>22620121
The ending is just gut-wrenching, even setting aside his last scene with Ms Kenton.

Ishiguro is perhaps the greatest novelist of his age.
The Unconsoled may be his best work.

>>22620914
Actually he did “never let me go” right? I actually liked that one but at the end of the day he’s still a genre crud writer so whatever.

I have read around 800~ books in my life and ALL of them have been by white men. Should I broaden my horizons and read some Asian's?

remains of the day is incel kino

>>22621045
Mr Stevens would be more of a volcel desu.

>>22620535
Alright you've convinced me.

>>22620995
He moved to England when he was 6 and writes in English, so he’s practically white.

'Never Let Me Go' wasn't bad, remarkably good considering literature is dead. I thought the plot was a bit hackneyed.
I gave it away to a young girl who works for me, literal teenager, she rated it highly, perhaps she related to the protagonist?
Anyway I could shag her now if I wasn't married, if your poetry, art and music gets into a girls head you've also gotten into her knickers.

It’s at the very border between genre shit and actual lit. Probably a good three hour time killer.

>>22621359
Glad to hear it anon. Throw up a thread anytime if you want to have some discussion RE Mr ish.

>>22620098
I don't think about him at all.

What impacted me reading this book was how subtly Ishiguro weaves in emotion. Theres nothing shocking or conventionally dramatic, but still he makes you feel like the almost no one else can. It is like peeling an orange in a slow continuous and unbroken strip - little by little you barely notice until you come to realize you are left with the bare fruit
10/10 would feel again

you would enjoy Buried Giant.

I read buried giant years ago and still think about it occasionally.

I've only read The Remains of the Day. Pretty good book.
