It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.

Kazuo Ishiguro, who is known casually as "Ish," was born in Japan, but his family moved to England (his father is an oceanographer) when he was 5 years old, where he grew up in the southern town of Guildford. He moved, as a teenager, from writing songs to writing stories, but feels that his songwriting experiences helped make his writing tight and spare. After earning degrees in English and philosophy, and then a Masters in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, he began to write fiction...

Tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine possesses a big, slightly raw tone, and a powerful sense of swing, but is also quite at home with subtle expressions of tenderness. He achieved considerable success in the '60s working live and recording with Jimmy Smith and later, Shirley Scott. Together, they provided some of the finest examples of the tenor/organ soul-funk-jazz approach.
