The Unconsoled is at once a gripping psychological mystery, a wicked satire of the cult of art, and a poignant character study of a man whose public life has accelerated beyond his control. The setting is a nameless Central European city where Ryder, a renowned pianist, has come to give the most important performance of his life. Instead, he finds himself diverted on a series of cryptic and infuriating errands that nevertheless provide him with vital clues to his own past. In The Unconsoled Ishiguro creates a work that is itself a virtuoso performance, strange, haunting, and resonant with humanity and wit. "A work of great interest and originality.... Ishiguro has mapped out an aesthetic territory that is all his own...frankly fantastic and] fiercer and funnier than before."--"The New Yorker"

A longer version of the Remains of the Day. A painful read but also a worthwhile one.

读完这本书完全是我对自己的一种锻炼，我有印象想中途放弃的次数都有不下十次。

阅读体验并非完全是愉快的，前半部分非常令人焦躁，但随着叙事地推进，渐渐地就能进入，直至沉迷。看似荒诞，实则人间真相，令人悲伤。

actually I like it...dream logic/lost crucial moments/tenuous epiphanies

相当有实验性，和他先前的作品迥然不同。荒诞的情节使得角色陌生化、非人化，无法用现实的逻辑理解。读的过程中多次感叹：当小说不断地违反现实社会的逻辑，这样的文字又如何让人找到意义呢！最后读完最深刻的感受是他居然胡说八道了这么一大本书……
