I'm excited to hear your thoughts on this. I love this book. I read Remains of the Day first but it didn't click for me. I'll definitely have to try Remains of the Day again because this was so beautifully heartbreaking and it was my favorite read that year so I know I love Ishiguro's writing. I suspect I listened to Remains on audiobook... I appreciate that audiobooks open up a new pathway to enjoying books but I find they dull my experience with prose and subtlety in particular - they slaughter character driven books for me. Instead of audiobooks I have podcasts (or, recently, your old book reviews) running in the background while I clean etc. Podcasts are easier to rewind/rerun. I actually listened to your Welty review last night but I had to repeatedly rewind to appreciate the excerpts you selected. My brain absorbs the written word better/more efficiently than spoken words.

Happy to accompany you and the vacuum ;)

Stephen, I'd like to hear your thoughts on Wendell Berry. Will you consider doing a book review of something by him soon? Please and thank you.

[@StephenHeiner]

I like some of what he has to say. Probably later in 2025 you’ll see a review on a book of his.

Is it the one where SPOILERS they’re robots ?
For years, they’ve been humanizing humanoids while dehumanizing humans.

Not robots

I read this book in a book club, I didn't enjoy it very much. I feel like the themes of clones and organ donations can be described to someone and they can understand the point of the book. I feel this book could have been better as a short article rather than a novel (which felt a bit stale and fluffed in my eyes).

[@StephenHeiner]

I understand your perspective, but like anything in life, sometimes a story helps drive home the points more. Classic example would be the business novel “The Goal” by Eliyahu Goldratt which my students have always immediately “gotten” in a way perhaps a case study could not have delivered.
