Now and What? Who and When?
What does one remember? What does one forget? Who and when gets lost in the process? Nobel Prize Winner Kazuo Ishiguro explores memory and its fallibility, the now and then of lives. In this discussion class, a "book group on steroids," participants will ponder the part memory and forgetting plays in constructing the self and the world in four of his novels: A Pale View of Hills (1982), An Artist of the Floating World (1986), Never Let Me Go (2005), and The Buried Giant (2015). These books, all in Ishiguro's elegant prose, also lend themselves to discussion of identity as well as cross-cultural, social, medical, and ethical dilemmas. The settings vary from pre to post Nagasaki, Japan, from ancient to future Great Britain.
Lois Harrod is a well-published poet, and long-time educator who has taught many literature courses at Evergreen Forum.
Wednesdays from 1:30–3:30 p.m. for eight weeks beginning March 6 through April 24.
