Literary Fiction
by Kazuo Ishiguro
Klara and the Sun, the first novel by Kazuo Ishiguro since he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, tells the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. Through Klara's innocent yet penetrating gaze, Ishiguro explores what it means to love, to hope, and to be human in a world transformed by technology.
