Episode 13 - The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro (or Writing Psychological Realism)

In this Episode of the Binge Reading Bookclub, Nicholas Binge and Hugo Powell discuss The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. Rather than simply referring to the obviously well written 'unreliable narrator' that is Stephens, Nicholas breaks down how Ishiguro permeates the realities of cognitive dissonance into his character development. Nicholas also breaks down what impact this has on the reader, and what approach a budding author wishing to borrow from Ishiguro's works might go about it. Nick also tests Hugo's dignity in a one of a kind buzzfeed style quiz, flipping the usual quiz based interruptions of the show on their heads. We also chat about upcoming changes to the show- First off, we are releasing 'Speed Binges' mini episodes where Hugo and Nick talk about the merits of other works of art from other mediums, be it music, TV, or Film. Starting out next month with Extremity by Nicholas Binge. The Next episode of the Binge Reading Bookclub will be out on the 26th February featuring the Novel Excession by Ian M. Banks and special guest David Goodman.  LINKS:STET Podcast NetworkOfficial Sitefollow us on Blueskyemail us: [email protected]
