"If we live in a world where invisible forces suggest what to buy or watch, then perhaps we ourselves are a set of algorithms that are to some extent predictable?" Kazuo Ishiguro is a Nobel and Booker Prize-winning author whose works have sold millions of copies. His new novel "Klara and the Sun" tells the story of Klara, an android who has just come to life. Her fate depends on who buys her... Despite the novel's futuristic setting, it is a story about family, loyalty, friendship, and humanity. A story that will literally make you see our world in a new light. "Kazuo Ishiguro is a writer whose superpower seems to be creating magnificent illusions and setting delightful, unpredictable traps for readers." — Galina Yuzefovich "It is heartening to see that even after winning the Nobel Prize, Ishiguro has not become complacent and continues to experiment. The text begins like a Pixar-style cartoon about living dolls in a display window but gradually fills with quiet horror and the mysteries of a true Gothic novel, giving the feeling that something bad is happening, but exactly what is unclear, and this uncertainty is scarier than any monster." — Alexey Polyarinov, author of the novel "The Reef" "The exploration of our inner landscape, which Ishiguro undertakes, possesses the power and insight of Dostoevsky." — Anna Narinskaya "[Ishiguro], in emotionally powerful novels, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world." — Nobel Committee speech "Ishiguro is an outstanding writer." — Neil Gaiman "A true magician." — Margaret Atwood "A very strong and simple text about how 'even robots can love.' Also probably the best about the relationship between man and God since 'Breaking the Waves.'" — Anton Dolin
