English author Kazuo Ishiguro wins 2017 Nobel in Literature

The 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to Japan-born English author Kazuo Ishiguro. The 62-year-old has written eight books, and scripts for film and television, with most associated themes being memory, time, and self-delusion. Ishiguro "in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world", said the Nobel Foundation.
