《远山淡影》是石黑一雄技惊文坛的处女作，一部问世30年仍在不断重印的名著。其“感伤与反讽”的融合、平衡令人犹记。这是一段迷雾重重、亦真亦幻的回忆。战后长崎，一对饱受磨难的母女渴望安定与新生，却始终走不出战乱的阴影与心魔。剧终，忆者剥去伪装，悲情满篇。

本书是作者的第一部短篇集，全书以音乐为线索，由五个看似独立却又相互关联的故事组成。故事的主要人物都同音乐情牵相关：郁郁不得志的餐厅乐手，风光不再的过气歌星，孤芳自赏的大提琴手，为求成功被迫整容的萨克斯手等等，多是对音乐一往情深，对生活却满腹牢骚。情节或荒诞不经，或令人唏嘘，借音乐人生这个主题，表现了作者一贯的对现代人生存状态的反思：理想与现实的差距，命运的嘲弄，才华的折磨，以及庞大社会机器控制下被压抑的情感……
值得一提的是，书中大量出现的音乐家、歌手、歌名，绝大部分都是真实的，令人仿若置身于上世纪五十至八十年代的当红歌手和经典曲目之中；而音乐，恰是作者年轻时曾经涉足，并浸淫于其中，乃至立志从事的。

本书是著名英籍日裔小说家石黑一雄的代表作之一,曾获1989年“布克奖”。史蒂文斯作为一名追求完美的男管家,服务于达林顿府三十余年。在此期间,他一方面尽力使自己成为男管家中的杰出人物,追求这一阶层所特有的“尊严”,同时,他也为此付出了相当的代价。作者以最能代表英格兰社会和文化特征的男管家为主角,以现实主义的手法入木三分地表现了英格兰的政治、历史、文化、传统与人的思想意识。

《浮世画家》是作家石黑一雄的第二部长篇小说，获Whitbread奖并进入布克奖短名单。 《浮世画家》同样以主人公的回忆为基调，以非凡的小说技巧生动地展现了主人公的回忆与思考，写作笔法含蓄委婉，耐人寻味。主人公曾是位显赫一时的浮世绘画家，随着二战日本的战败，他才恍若大梦初醒：原来整个日本民族的过去竟是在为一种荒诞虚幻的理想献身，他的艺术理想也真如其名称一样毫无根基，虚浮于世。

One of the most celebrated writers of our time gives us his first cycle of short fiction: five brilliantly etched, interconnected stories in which music is a vivid and essential character.
A once-popular singer, desperate to make a comeback, turning from the one certainty in his life . . . A man whose unerring taste in music is the only thing his closest friends value in him . . . A struggling singer-songwriter unwittingly involved in the failing marriage of a couple he’s only just met . . . A gifted, underappreciated jazz musician who lets himself believe that plastic surgery will help his career . . . A young cellist whose tutor promises to “unwrap” his talent . . .
Passion or necessity—or the often uneasy combination of the two—determines the place of music in each of these lives. And, in one way or another, music delivers each of them to a moment of reckoning: sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, sometimes just eluding their grasp.
An exploration of love, need, and the ineluctable force of the past, Nocturnes reveals these individuals to us with extraordinary precision and subtlety, and with the arresting psychological and emotional detail that has marked all of Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed works of fiction.
