Summary/Abstract: The present paper investigates unreliability in Kazuo Ishiguro’s novels. From his award winning The Remains of the Day to his most recent Klara and the Sun, Ishiguro excels at building characters who unwillfully bend reality while being true to themsleves and at the same time hiding behind their own identity. This dichotomy of being authentic and unreliable allows Ishiguro’s characters to take their stories to unanticipated levels of depth and relevance for the world we live in.
