«The Literature Nobel Price winner has been chosen» – article of Zeit Online / Translated
The 62-year old Japanese born is mostly known for his novel«The Remains of the Day». The announcement was made by the Nobel price committee of Stockholm.
This years' price winner was quite a surprise. Ishiguro, who was born in 1954 in Nagasaki and lived in Great Britain with his family since he was 5 years old, competed against many other well-known authors, like the Japanese Haruki Murakami, the Canadian Margaret Atwood and the Israeli Amos Oz. <…>
«Ishiguro work has the careful phraseology engrained, which is free from the circumstances he tells us about», wrote the committee in the announcing letter.» «In the meantime, his newest Prosa includes fantastic elements.»
We would like to congratulate Kazuo Ishiguro to his award and wish him all the best for the future!
