LITERARY FICTION
The Remains of the Day
An English butler drives across the countryside revisiting his life's decisions and finding in every memory what he lost. Ishiguro's prose is so controlled the devastation comes as a slow leak.
Allo's take
The finest novel about self-deception I know. The unreliable narrator has never been deployed this quietly or to such devastating effect.As an Amazon Associate, byallo earns from qualifying purchases.
