How to write like Kazuo Ishiguro
4 writing lessons from the full-stack developer of time, space and artificial intelligence
Kazuo Ishiguro is a great companion for any season. I spent many lovely evenings lying in bed with him…his books. The ardent summer dusk with crickets singing their alien cricket songs outside. The cold winter night with a howling storm storming my flat/fortress. The rainy day of autumn. The blossoming morning of spring.
I like how Ishiguro writes.
I like how he writes about human life in little yet meaningful moments.
I like how he writes to create a unique and real human experience, and not just emulate a close lookalike.
I like how his writing is, by and large, a journey to understand what it means to be a human being.
