Well, in part because I was gulled. I really did think there had to be a magic payoff which would account for the insanity and make sense of it. Wrong! But also, I confess, because it was “good enough” for listening to in bed. However, I’m done with Ishiguro. I didn’t even like the two that people rate most highly,
The Remains of the Day and
Never Let Me Go, especially as his typical tics and tricks have become more obvious. So tired of his introducing an element and circling back to explain it only later. Yawn. Overused, it’s no longer effective.
