Terrific interview, well done Sinéad! I am an uncloseted adorer of Ishiguro's books, even the lesser-loved like <em>The Unconsoled</em> and <em>When We Were Orphans</em>. I remember reading at the time of publication of <em>Never Let Me Go</em> that he had interrupted another book he was working on to write it, and for that reason I hoped he would be able to return to the earlier one and let us have it sooner than his usual five-year gestation period. Doesn't look like it though... Just found this through the link on the recent Booker of Bookers post. Terrific interview, well done Sinéad!

The film is about emotional repression, although the book deals with self-denial, which is at one of each media the more apropriate way. Dear readers, dear bloggers,

I'm the Arabic traslator of two of Kazuo's novels (The Unconsoled) and (When We Were Orphans) now I'm about to start work on the Never Let Me Go and I really want to be in contact with him. At least I want to send him a copy or two of the Arabic Edition of his novels. Is there any help.
