What is most striking about this little story is, in fact, the narration in itself. Ishiguro composes one of the most interesting narrative voices I have ever come across. The narration is a perfect balance between past and present, memory and “reality”, narrative and dialogue, recollection and fact. A love story, perhaps, interrupted by the duties of a Butler and a Maid in such a high position, in a place where nothing is quite what it seems, or, rather, nothing is quite narrated the way it is. It is hard to tell if it is love or hate what unites Mr. Stevens and Miss Keaton at first, it is hard to tell if what is narrated to the reader is really all there is, or perhaps more… or perhaps even less. What makes The Remains of the Dayso interesting and so especial is, precisely, what is being omitted from the narration. The reader must perform a great effort to grasp what is being told, despite Mr. Steven’s completely sincere and honest approach. The narration is never scattered or ineffective. Stevens may ignore certain events, may perhaps wrongly recollect the dates and times and placing of others, and that is, precisely, what turns this novel into an experiment of sorts. A narration that is so curious and unique and at the same time so successful, is hard to find. It seems to me Ishiguro goes beyond the exploration of a character, a social circle or an historical era. His novels seem to be a perfect execution between humanity, morality and society. What makes us human, and what can deprive us of such a distinction? What, why do we live for, and how do we do it? What makes each individual different from the rest, and does it really matter? In conclusion, The Remains of the Day is, in my opinion, a perfectly executed novel, that is not only a character and social study, but also a study on the narrative voice and how relevant (or perhaps irrelevant) it truly is for the story being exposed. An extremely recommended read.

Ok, ok. I've read it four times. (August 2009) * Earlier this summer, I realized that reading The Brothers K on Peaks Island has been a highlight of the two most recent summers. Since I was planning on a late August solo trip up to Maine anyways, I packed my well-worn copy of this novel and began my slightly insane mission -- to read it again in four days. Well, the sun and water distracted me a bit, but I made it 3/4 of the way through and finished it for the third time this morning (2 September 2008). This most recent reading affected me much more than the previous ones, quite frankly because of the semester I put in at the OE. I understand now why they had us read it before we came [DJD even uses a Simone Weil quote at the beginning of one of the chapters:]. I also have a broader perspective on DJD's writing because I read God Laughs and Plays earlier this summer. The Brothers K is packed full of his thoughts on spirituality and religion, that I wasn't quite as in tuned to the first two times, but I picked it up all over the place this past week. Regardless, this morning, I found myself both laughing and crying [a relatively new emotion for me while reading:] and wishing that summer wasn't over so that I could read it again. Time will tell whether I continue the tradition, but I almost think it would be best to let it be--three summers during college and three reads of The Brothers K!
