Summary/Abstract: The posthuman world inhabited by Ishiguro’s protagonists enables its examination within the framework of Marie-Laure Ryan’s narrative semantics, owing to its genre characteristics, as well as to the specific structure of its narrative universe fabricated from memories. The analysis of the interwoven textual worlds aims to indicate a motif functioning as a center of the amalgamation and conflicts within the worlds, as well as to corroborate the claim that the inconceivability of escape stems from the internal structure of Ishiguro’s narrative universe.
