My teaser today is taken from Nocturnes: Five stories of Music and Nightfall by Kazuo Ishiguro. It’s from the first story The Crooner:
But his voice resonated well in that quiet canal. In fact it sounded really beautiful. And for a moment it was like I was a boy again, back in that apartment, lying on the carpet while my mother sat on the sofa, exhausted, or maybe heartbroken, while Tony Gardner’s album spun in the corner of the room. (pages 14 -15)
I love Ishiguro, but am no short story reader. I’m torn!

TT, there are only five stories in this book, so they’re more than the usual few pages long. I’m not that keen on short stories either but I found this first one (the only one in the book I’ve read so far) more satisfying than some short stories. It helps to like Ishiguro.

So nostalgic in a way..
I am interested to know more.

I have another Ishiguro book waiting in line but I’m really interested to read “Nocturnes” as well. And I quite like the teaser, which is good to know…
