Klara og solen
Kazuo Ishiguro
A man named Gil walks from New York to Arizona to recover from a failed love. After he arrives, new neighbors move into the glass-walled house next door, and his life begins to mesh with theirs. In this account of Gil's unexpected devotion to the family, Lydia Millet explores the uncanny territory where the self ends and community begins what one person can do in a world beset by emergencies.
