A Pale View of Hills Novel by Kazuo Ishiguro (Farsi)

The author of “A Pale View of Hills” is Kazuo Ishiguro. Sir Kazuo Ishiguro (born 8 November 1954) is a British novelist, screenwriter, musician, and short-story writer. He was born in Nagasaki and moved to Britain in 1960 with his parents when he was five. A graduate from the University of East Anglia, Ishiguro is one of the most celebrated contemporary fiction authors in English. His first two novels, A Pale View of Hills and An Artist of the Floating World, were noted for their explorations of Japanese identity and elegiac tone. Subsequently, he explored other genres, including science fiction and historical fiction. He has received four Man Booker Prize nominations and won the award in 1989 for his novel The Remains of the Day, which was adapted into a film of the same name in 1993. Fellow author Salman Rushdie has praised the novel as Ishiguro’s masterpiece, in which he “turned away from the Japanese settings of his first two novels and revealed that his sensibility was not rooted in any one place, but capable of travel and metamorphosis”. Time has named Ishiguro’s science fiction novel Never Let Me Go the best novel of 2005 and one of the 100 best English-language novels published between 1923 and 2005. In 2017, the Swedish Academy awarded Ishiguro the Nobel Prize in Literature, describing him in its citation as a writer “who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world”.
