 Nobel-Prize winning author Kazua Ishiguro (Remains of the Day) brings us his newest novel, Klara and the Sun. Long-listed for the Booker Prize, chosen as Maureen Corrigan’s Top Book of 2021, and on the Top Book lists of the New York Times, Time, the Guardian and more, Klara is a engaging read. Ishiguro likes to explore what it means to be human, or human-like, and centers this novel on a robot-like “Artificial Friend” named Klara, who narrates the novel and offers her observations about the humans who surround her. Set in the very near future where artificial intelligence plays a larger role in our lives, Klara is a best friend to a young teenage girl. Klara is such a compelling, emotional presence you may be convinced she is a sentient being. Is she? Come join us to discuss! |
