      • an accessible overview of the contexts and many interpretations of his work, from publication to the present
      • discussions of key topics in Ishiguro criticism such as narrative theory, multicultural Britain and postcolonial studies, psychoanalytic criticism, and Ishiguro as international writer
      • cross-references between sections of the guide, in order to suggest links between texts, contexts and criticism
      • suggestions for further reading.

      Part of the Routledge Guides to Literature series, this volume is essential reading for all those beginning detailed study of Kazuo Ishiguro and seeking not only a guide to his works but also a way through the wealth of contextual and critical material that surrounds them.
