Product Description
Ryder a renowned pianist arrives in a Central European city he cannot identify for a concert he cannot remember agreeing to give. But then as he traverses a landscape by turns eerie and comical – and always strangely malleable as a dream might be – he comes steadily to realise he is facing the most crucial performance of his life. Ishiguro’s extraordinary and original study of a man whose life has accelerated beyond his control was met on publication by consternation vilification – and the highest praise. If you enjoyed The Unconsoled you might also like Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day now available in Faber Modern Classics.
