AUTUMN 2016The Remains of the Day, Kazuo Ishiguru ISBN 978-0571258246 Faber & Faber The novels narrator, Stevens, is a perfect English butler who tries to give his narrow existence form and meaning through the self-effacing, almost mystical practise of his profession. Gilead, Marilynne Robinson ISBN 978-1844081486 Virago In 1956, towards the end of Reverend John Ames’s life, he begins a letter to his young son, a kind of last testament to his remarkable forebears. PLEASE NOTEAll of the books will be looked at in the above order. Please be sure to get the edition recommended, as the use of different editions slows the class. Stonehouse books will have all of the above. (An Independent Kilkenny Bookshop). A list will be available in other bookshops also. |
