I’m a fan of Kazuo Ishiguro’s underlying biological philosophy themes viewed through the lens of human fragility and strength. «Never let me go» still stands as my favorite of his, but I was happy to get lost in «Klara and the Sun»’s wistful and gentle tone. Nevertheless, I wish it would’ve tugged at my emotions and brain cells even more, and the dialogue (even between the human characters, mind you) had a tendency to come off as artificial.

Curious to see how the movie adaptation (2025) will turn out!
