I am 24 and have just come across this man. I am a songwriter and for the last couple of years I have discovered my love of books. I have grappled with what I want to do with my life and songwriting just doesn’t seem to be the end goal. To hear Kazuo speak about realising he wanted to be a writer in his mid twenties after wanting to be a songwriter is really inspiring. And gives me hope that one day I will make it 😊

Twenty rn. I might have gone on never knowing of him had I not googled "books similar to the movie Whiplash" and visited that fateful blog that suggested Nocturnes.

[@ramdularsingh1435]

Hello from Japan! I love his novels and this interview. I wish he would come to Japan soon again.

Absolutely loved his quote about knocking one door for a long time, until another one opened...

Nobel prize is not just a prize,its a dream that can be true by changing others imagination about the usual world.

[@bma1955alimarber]

To be a writer, you should love writing! You should have a special relationship with the act of writing: an important indicator in this regard is enjoying yourself when writig

[@SKD1947]

Ishiguro and Orphan phamuk command the 21st century literary flair and exuberance of writings.....I personally think Eli Shafak is heading towards the same journey......

[@susydyson1750]

wise and excellent advice from a magnificent person and writter !

[@natuoyamaguti3909]

I have no doubt that " Never let me go " should be called the greatest masterpiece out of all of his works , at the same time I'm proud of having this worldwidely noted Japanese authour as a Japanese fellow , he himself is no longer Japanese, though.

[@reginakomesuhayes8294]

I think we can be proud of him no matter what. He is an amazing writer! He moved to the UK when he was only 5 years old and I think it is quite natural that he is culturally more English. It seems weird to me that you say he is no longer Japanese.

[@idongesitu_1_imuk]

@@reginakomesuhayes8294 He's still a wonderful japanese man, only his accent changed nationalities 😊

[@benrezenarosa]

Congratulations!

8:25 So is he saying it’s not good to remember the atrocity or people/society should address it? I’ve listened to it many times but still confused about what he is saying.

[@novaes58]

excellent

[@shabirmagami146]

Brilliant 💕

[@blackdavinci4337]

I want it that way too

[@mazharchodary9703]

I am a poet I can understand that he spoke with Depth of heat

[@stephenlee1756]

He has become more British than the British!

[@yahyahussein425]

Look up his bio. He moved and has lived in Britain since he was 6. I’d bet if looked Norwegian or German you wouldn’t have made that comment.

He does not deserve it

[@thegreenwoodhub1279]

anas .Z why do you say that?

[@taasinbinhossainalvi9173]

Why?

[@love-lj7rr]

He deserves

[@michaelbalfour3170]

What I have read of his has moved me in ways other fiction hasn't.

[@hamidhaider7433]

@@michaelbalfour3170 he's good but he's a bit too "pop fiction", especially Never Let Me Go
