If Ishiguro had won the Nobel in '05 or '06 on the strength of this book, no one would have been surprised. The only reason it was such a head scratcher when he won in '17 was that his most recent work,
The Buried Giant, was poorly received. I have read all his works and I think that
Never Let Me Go and
The Remains of the Day are absolute masterpieces.
