Alan Yentob interviews the celebrated novelist and screenwriter Sir Kazuo Ishiguro.

In the first of a two-part documentary, Alan Yentob interviews the celebrated novelist and screenwriter Sir Kazuo Ishiguro. 

In this two-part documentary, Alan Yentob interviews the celebrated novelist and screenwriter Sir Kazuo Ishiguro. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Ishiguro's novels and short stories have been translated into more than fifty languages. The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go were also made into award-winning films. Born in Nagasaki in 1954, Ishiguro moved to England with his family at the age of five. In this first episode, Kazuo and Alan discuss the influence of Japan and Britain in the formation of his outlook and chart the progress across his writing career from novels that deal with characters at a crossroads of history in An Artist of the Floating World and The Remains of the Day to novels that exist in a realm of dreams and memory in The Unconsoled and When We Were Orphans, and finally to the dystopian and fantasy settings of Never Let Me Go and The Buried Giant. And it looks ahead to the next episode which explores his most recent novel Klara and the Sun.
