'Shaw and Sloan have compiled a rich and wide-ranging collection on 2017 Nobel Literature Laureate Kazuo Ishiguro... This edited work adds to and extends the criticism of Ishiguro’s work with novel and fresh perspectives, and will be of interest to those who read and study world and comparative literatures.'
