  Ryder, a renowned pianist, arrives in a Central European city he cannot identify for a concert he cannot remember agreeing to give. But then as he traverses a landscape by turns eerie and comical - and always strangely malleable, as a dream might be - he comes steadily to realise he is facing the most crucial performance of his life. Ishiguro's extraordinary study of a man whose life has accelerated beyond his control was met on publication by consternation, vilification - and the highest praise.

  The Unconsoled is constructed on an epic scale. A sad, strange comedy set in contemporary Europe, it features a large gallery of characters, among them some of the most poignantly memorable the author has ever created.
