Description
The Unconsoled follows Ryder, a renowned pianist who arrives in a Central European city he cannot identify for a concert he cannot remember agreeing to give. As he traverses a landscape that is by turns eerie and comical—and always strangely malleable, as a dream might be—he comes steadily to realise he is facing the most crucial performance of his life.
Ishiguro's extraordinary study of a man whose life has accelerated beyond his control was met on publication by consternation, vilification, and the highest praise.
