From 65438 to 0983, he began to publish novels, the main works of which are Mountain Colors, Ukiyo-e Painters and The Long Day Will Come to an End.

1, Shadows in the Far Mountains is kazuo ishiguro's first novel. The novel is set in Nagasaki, Japan, after World War II. The story tells the story of a mother (Confucius) and her daughter (Jingzi). After the war, they longed for stability and rebirth. So they are going to move to England, hoping to forget the fear brought by the war in this way. But in the end, although they successfully immigrated, they found it difficult to get rid of the deep fear brought by the war. Daughter Jingzi couldn't stand it and finally committed suicide. Until then, the reader finally found out that the narrator of the story is using memories as a cover for self-deception, telling his own experiences with other people's stories in an attempt to alleviate his guilt, which is also a highlight of the narrative skills of this book. In a word, this is a story about guilt, pain and self-deception, and it is a rare high-level debut.

2. The Ukiyo-e Painter was published in the third year after its debut. This book continues the memory technique of the last one, and the story background is still set after World War II. It tells the story of Jiro Ono, a Japanese painter, rushing about for his youngest daughter's marriage. However, the memory line of this book is not just a main line like the shadow of a distant mountain, but uses multiple memory lines to show all the events in my life. At the end of the work, Xiao Ye's memory has come to an end. Standing at the crossroads of the past and reality, he reflected on why he, a recognized master of art before the war, became an accomplice of militarism in the eyes of the world after the war. This kind of reflection has also made a qualitative leap in the ideological height of this book.

3. "No Comfort" is his fourth work, and it has been 13 years since the publication of his first novel "Shadow of the Far Mountain". The so-called ten years sharpen a sword, this book is a major breakthrough in kazuo ishiguro's creative style. This book is about the protagonist "I", a pianist named Rhett, who is going to perform in a place. The arrival time is Monday, but the performance time is Thursday night, and then the whole novel tells his experiences and feelings during the four days and three nights of this performance. Paradoxically, what he saw and felt projected his own memories, associations and fears, just like a nightmare. The author seems to have written an absurd dream in 350,000 words. Therefore, this book is controversial and marks the beginning of kazuo ishiguro's style change. Of course, it is also very deep and has a strong modernist literary atmosphere, which is worthy of patience.

4. Serenade: Five Stories of Dusk and Music is kazuo ishiguro's first and only collection of short stories. The theme of this book is music, which contains five seemingly independent stories, but in fact they are interrelated. Among them are depressed restaurant singers, out-of-date singers, narcissistic cellists, and even Noxas players who were forced to have plastic surgery for their musical dreams. They are crazy about music, but full of complaints about life. The emotion I want to express may be the mockery of fate, the suppression of talent, or the great pain caused by the tearing of ideal and reality. You know, three years before her debut, kazuo ishiguro's dream was to become a musician. These five stories may secretly express his deep musical dreams, which are autobiographical and unknown.
