Kazuo Ishiguro's narrative style is heavily informed by his experiences as a Japanese immigrant in Britain. His works often embody a sense of dislocation and memory, reflecting the complexities of cultural identity. Ishiguro's characters frequently grapple with loss and regret, using a restrained narrative approach that focuses on the subtleties of emotion and relationships. This influence results in rich, introspective storytelling that allows readers to engage deeply with the characters' inner worlds, often navigating between the past and present, seeking to make sense of their histories.
