British author Kazuo Ishiguro, best known for his novel The Remains of the Day, won the 2017 Nobel Literature Prize on October 5, the Swedish Academy said.
Mr. Ishiguro, “in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world,” the Academy wrote.
Sixty four-year-old Mr. Ishiguro was born in Japan and his family moved to the United Kingdom when he was five. His most renowned novel, The Remains of the Day (1989), was turned into film with Anthony Hopkins as the butler Stevens.
