The Buried Giant
by Kazuo Ishiguro · 2015
Literary Fiction · ranked #44 in category
In post-Arthurian Britain, an elderly couple undertake a journey through a land where memory has been mysteriously erased. Ishiguro's most fable-like novel asks whether a love built on forgotten pain can survive the return of what was buried — and whether communities can coexist peacefully if they remember the atrocities they committed against each other.
