<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Only the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day could have created this daring and stunningly inventive new novel. The Unconsoled gives readers what is at once a riveting psychological mystery, an acute satire of the cult of art, and a poignant character study of a man whose public self has taken on a life of its own. "Ishiguro writes with his characteristic grace and off-beat pungency".--Los Angeles Times.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize-winning novel <i>The Remains of the Day</i>, here is a novel that 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. </b> <p/>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 <i>The Unconsoled</i> Ishiguro creates a work that is itself a virtuoso performance, strange, haunting, and resonant with humanity and wit.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A work of great interest and originality....
