The Buried Giant: A novel | Kazuo Ishiguro

Ishiguro famously said that he tends to "write the same book over and over", but as skilled as he is and with a theme as rich for exploration as the caprices of memory, that's hardly a bad thing. It's tempting to say that #TheBuriedGiant is just Remains of the Day set in a fictionalized, Arthurian England, the story of a man and a society dealing with the trauma lurking beneath their foundational myths. Fair enough - it is, and it's totally great!

I loved it. Delicious book just as a fairy tale about lost memories, love, revenge, and war. 🤔How necessary is to remember everything? 🤔 #KazuoIshiguro #OGiganteEnterrado #TheBuriedGiant #book #bookaholic #booklovers #ler #leitura #leitora #reading #instabook #instaread #instabooks #bookstagram #litsy #booklover #readingabook #amreading #books #vero #Sha2018

#theburiedgiant was paced slower then I normally read, but #ishiguro does a wonderful job of creating a novel that moves with the speed of the protagonists. The book was not a challenge to finish because of all the mysteries and quests being sought.

It was a long and amazing day at the Celtic Fling, but now I'm going to curl up with The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. Has anyone ever read this author before? Thoughts? #bookstagram #bookster #bookish #booklover #bookworm #bookporn #theburiedgiant #kazuoishiguro #authorianlegend

Although the concept setting and characters were great, the pace and story slumped in the middle for me which made it a slow read for me. An ok but sombre read. #ishiguro #theburiedgiant #saxons #fog
