The Unconsoled
Ishiguro's most disorienting novel, and that is saying something. A pianist arrives in a city to give a concert and spends the book failing to get there, distracted by obligations he cannot refuse and memories that may not be his own. The prose is calm, almost sedated, while the world around the narrator keeps shifting like furniture in a dream. This is a hardcover with the heft of a long, unsettled night. For readers who enjoy being lost on purpose, who understand that some anxieties cannot be named, only circled. Not a book to read when you need solid ground.
