Kazuo Ishiguro

 The 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature has recently been awarded to Kazuo Ishiguro, an english-japanese novelist who has published seven books so far and is still working on some new ones. There are a few movies that are based on his novels, as well as some japanese tv series. His prize is considered to be special because in recent years the Swedish Academy seemed to be using the award for making political statements and this year they tried to focus only on the artist's literary value.
  I came across Kazui Ishiguro two years ago when I was reading his novel "Never Let Me go" which has remained in my memory ever since. I remeber this book as a very interesting and well written. I was touched by the meaning presented in it and by how vivid and developed the characters were. Even though I wasn't expecting to hear that Ishiguro was awarded the Nobel Prize ,it didn't suprise suprise that much, because after reading his novel I had no doubts the author was an intelligent, creative and sensitive writer.
