The English troupe and the fragmentation and the plot that lurks beneath reminded me of the uncanny horror I’d see in a Lynch movie� like lowkey this reminded me a lot of Lost Highway for some reason. Also as an English major I loved this as an approach to fiction as a “trust exercise� and the vox article about this book really helped!...more

the ending is so brilliant that it sucks so bad that i could barely get through the middle of this thing... like literally skipped over entire pages athe ending is so brilliant that it sucks so bad that i could barely get through the middle of this thing... like literally skipped over entire pages and chapters because it was such a slog. like the ending is so devastating and perfect without even earning it through 200 pages of nothing so i just simply barely read them. i have such a weird relationship to ishiguro but hopefully "never let me go" doesn't let me down!

Also I LOVE the song so give it a listen!...more
