Review: Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro


Listen Later

Spoilers abound in this review of Kazuo Ishiguro's alternate reality classic Never Let Me Go.  One of us found it engrossing.  One of us found it bland.  The third was of two minds.  Who would have guessed?  Our discussion includes a deliberation on what makes this a work of literature, what the heck the boat image means, and some musing on the capitalist hellscape that make up this novel.
For this series we will review and discuss Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders Oct 21 - Nov 4, Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld Nov 11 - Nov 25th, and Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro Dec 2 - Dec 16.
