The Remains of the Day won the 1989 Booker Prize and cemented Kazuo Ishiguro's place as one of the world's greatest writers. David Lodge, chairman of the judges in 1989, said, it's 'a cunningly structured and beautifully paced performance'. This is a haunting evocation of lost causes and lost love, and an elegy for England at a time of acute change. Ishiguro's work has been translated into more than forty languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide. Stevens, the long-serving butler of Darlington Hall, embarks on a leisurely holiday that will take him deep into the countryside, but also into his own past. Reflecting on his years of service, he must re-examine his life in the face of changing Britain, and question whether his dignity and properness have come at a greater cost to himself.

看的第一本日本推理,很难想象这是80年代出版的,对虚拟现实的讨论超越时代,很精彩、蛮厉害的一本书。即使是今天也不可能再从更新奇的角度翻出新花样了。作者文字功底很厉害,但感觉比起推理性,这本书的悬疑性更强。再版台版中多加的TE确实让这部的推理性更强,圆了设定,但也打破了原本留白恰到好处的开放结局,所以对我来说有点狗尾续貂。
