The Remains of The Day
By Kazuo Ishiguro
245 pages;
Vintage International
A small masterpiece about a man who has spent nearly his entire life as a butler, a role that has defined him. What will become of him as the world changes and serving a gentleman is no longer an elevated calling? And are there any gentlemen left? Ishiguro's seemingly conventional upstairs/downstairs story turns ingeniously subversive.
