A review by benwhittall
An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro

inspiring reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Not Ishiguro’s strongest novel, but still one that lead me to reflect as always. It made me think about my own self-reflection as an artist, and how it’s important to not dwell on one’s past or mistakes, but to look forward and celebrate what we’ve achieved. If anything, it did make me feel inspired and hopeful.
