About this Event
The Remains of the Day: 3-Week Course
A superb 3-week course exploring Kazuo Ishiguro's 1989 Booker Prize winning novel, The Remains of the Day!
July 1956. Darlington Hall has a new American owner. Lord Darlington is dead, and his butler, Stevens, carries on as he always has.
But change stirs memory, and Stevens will soon begin a journey that will take him out of the house and into recollections of the past, forcing him, for the first time in years, to re-evaluate his life and missed opportunities.
In this 3-week course we will explore Ishiguro's understated and deceptive novel, reading between the lines and under the surfaces to explore issues of memory and the past, repression and suppression, and unreliable narration.?
This is a wonderful book to study and discuss, and the group is very friendly, so please do come and join us!
