I think Kazuo Ishiguro is a beautiful author. This is five short stories that center around music and nighttime and while the idea is beautiful and the writing is beautiful, the book is just OK. Maybe it's my reaction to short stories. I just kept waiting for something...more...something bigger...something purposeful to happen. Or to be realized. Or to wonder. Very descriptive but ultimately unsatisfying to me.

Have you read Never Let Me Go? It's my favorite Ishiguro. I haven't read this one!
I have and I loved it, disturbing as it was. I also really liked Remains of the Day. He makes such a point with so little ado. He is definitely gifted which is why I had such high hopes for this beautifully titled collection.
