Author

Kazuo Ishiguro

Year

2005

Vibe

Melancholy, uncanny boarding-school memory spiral

Best reading setting

Rainy evening by a window, preferably with lo-fi beats and questionable lighting

My take

Creeps up on you so gently that by the time you realize how dark it is, you’re emotionally invested and mildly devastated. Do not read on a day you already feel fragile.
