Workshopping Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

Kazuo Ishiguro made headlines when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 2017. The Nobel Committee wrote that Ishiguro “who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world.” One of Ishiguro’s most influential works is Never Let Me Go (2005), a dystopic science fiction novel that focusses on the lives of a group of friends who grow up and come to learn that they must give donations – they are clones whose sole purpose is to provide organs for the critically ill.
