Congratulations to Kazuo Ishiguro, whose book ‘Klara and the Sun’ has been longlisted for the #2021BookerPrize The judges said: ‘What stays with you in Klara and the Sun is the haunting narrative voice — a genuinely innocent, ego-less perspective on the strange behaviour of humans obsessed and wounded by power, status and fear. This is a fiction that not only asks in general about the nature of consciousness and personal dignity but presses home the assumptions we make about how we value some consciousnesses more than others and how we make others serve the cause of our survival.’ #FinestFiction @FaberBooks
