The 2017 Nobel Prize for Literature went to British novelist and screenwriter Kazuo Ishiguro "who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world". A Man Booker laureate in 1989 for The Remains of the Day, Ishiguro has written novels mostly set in the past (although his Never Let Me Go can qualify as SF/speculative fiction) and his characters often reflect in their development the Japanese concept of Mono no aware (物の哀れ, literally "the pathos of things"), in stories which rarely offer any sense of resolution.
