Kazuo Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day is my favorite novel – not because I believe it's objectively the greatest ever written, but because it was the first book that truly showed me what literature could do. It challenged me, reached me, and ultimately set me on the path that would lead to Paperback Friends.
In this episode, we discuss Ishiguro's restrained writing, Stevens as one of literature's great unreliable narrators, identity, duty, regret, and why this quiet novel has become a modern classic.
Along the way, I also reflect on why this book has remained so important to me, and why I chose to save it for the podcast's 100th episode.
Thank you for listening, whether this is your first episode or your hundredth. You are a Paperback Friend =)
