A strange, futuristic time that is now. A world too much like ours and too easy to comprehend. Characters who are us but not us. Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro, published in 2005, is difficult to review without spoiling what ought to be a slow reveal for the reader. I have no intention of spoiling anything here. The novel was praised by critics, who called it “graceful and grim,” “an elegant nightmare of a novel,” and “Gothic.” It has been referred to as “science-fiction,” though in most ways it is nothing like science fiction.
