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

2.0

The unreliable narrator could have been much more appealing. I enjoyed the way that the story slowly unfolded, but I could have used some more details. The narrative was very slow and measured, with little flashbacks that illustrated the actual story. It does have some subtle details that emerge in an interesting way and take time to seep in. Maybe if I knew about Japan circa WWII it would have had more appeal.
