Abstract

Kazuo Ishiguro is a well-known Japanese author, whose books have been highly awarded. His first novel, A Pale View of Hills (1982) received the Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize of the Royal Society of Literature, The Remains of the Day (1989) is a Booker Prize-winning novel which was also dramatised in an Oscar movie, and An Artist of the Floating World brought Ishiguro the Whitbread Book of the Year in 1986, to mention just a few of his achievements.This paper aims to discuss, from postcolonial, psychoanalytical and feminist perspectives, the opposition between the traditional Japanese culture, and the new, modern lifestyle promoted by the Anglo-American model, opposition characterising Ishiguro’s life and which he also borrows to his fiction.
