Nocturnes : five stories of music and nightfall
Ishiguro, Kazuo (, 1954-)
Nocturnes : five stories of music and nightfall / Kazuo Ishiguro - New York : Alfred a. Knopf , 2009 - 221 p. ; 22 cm.
Crooner -- Come rain or come shine -- Malvern Hills -- Nocturne -- Cellists.
With the clarity and precision that have become his trademarks, Kazuo Ishiguro interlocks five short pieces of fiction to create a world that resonates with emotion, heartbreak, and humor. Here is a fragile, once famous singer, turning his back on the one thing he loves; a music junky with little else to offer his friends but opinion; a songwriter who inadvertently breaks up a marriage, a jazz musician who thinks the answer to his career lies in changing his physical appearance; and a young cellist whose tutor has devised a remarkable way to foster his talent. For each, music is a central part of their lives and, in one way or another, delivers them to an epiphany.
