About This Novel

"The Painter of the Floating World (work by 2017 Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro)" also uses the protagonist's meeting as the keynote, and vividly displays the protagonist's memories and thoughts with extraordinary novel skills. The writing style is implicit, euphemistic, and thought-provoking. The protagonist was once a prominent ukiyo-e painter. After Japan's defeat in World War II, he suddenly woke up from a big dream: it turned out that the entire Japanese nation had dedicated itself to an absurd and illusory ideal in the past, and his artistic ideal was as baseless and illusory as its name.

Sense of Self is Kazuo Ishiguro's best book. Plain language and storyline can arouse long-term thinking.

The war has brought mental devastation to people. It is indeed lamentable that brave young people lost their lives for a stupid cause and paid for the real criminals.

I like this book. Although memories and reality change frequently, the whole work still gives people a refreshing, unfinished and endless aftertaste.

Finished reading

A painter may have the ability to capture the most subtle and fragile beauty and indulge in his own artistic ideas. It's not good to be too emotionally sensitive. You'll have to self-examine yourself and become self-deprecating. Sometimes the truth is that he thinks too much and his family doesn't mean it.

Come to think of it, it must be very expensive.
