Kazuo Ishiguro Biografía y Hechos
Kazuo Ishiguro (カズオ・イシグロ Kazuo Ishiguro, formalmente 石黒一雄 Ishiguro Kazuo) (Nagasaki, Japón, 8 de noviembre de 1954) es un escritor británico de origen japonés que escribe en lengua inglesa. Recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura 2017.[1] Ishiguro, habiendo nacido en Nagasaki, contando con la nacionalidad británica y escribiendo en inglés, pertenece a una generación de escritores japoneses de marcado carácter transfronterizo, en la cual se integran también Banana Yoshimoto y Haruki Murakami. Biografía Kazuo Ishiguro nació en Nagasaki, Japón, en 1954. Su madre, Shizuko, vivía en Nagasaki cuando la bomba atómica fue lanzada sobre la ciudad en 1945[2]. A su padre, Shizuo, oceanógrafo, le ofrecieron trabajo en el Instituto Nacional Británico de Oceanografía, por lo que se mudaron a Gilford, Inglaterra cuando Kazuo contaba con cinco años[2]. Tiene una hermana mayor, Fumiko, y una menor, Yoko[3]. Ishiguro estudió en la Stoughton Primary School y luego en Woking County Grammar School en Surrey. Durante su adolescencia consideró seriamente dedicarse a la música, influenciado por cantautores importantes de la época como Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen y Joni Mitchell; tocó en clubes y envió cintas a distintas compañías disqueras, sin que nada resultara de aquellos esfuerzos[4][5]. Cuando terminó la escuela en 1973, Ishiguro se tomó un año sabático para viajar por Estados Unidos[2] y en 1974 comenzó sus estudios en la Universidad de Kent, de donde se graduó en 1979 en Licenciatura en Inglés y Filosofía[3]. Al terminar sus estudios, Ishiguro comenzó a trabajar en la organización sin fines de lucro West London Cyrenians, que se dedicaba a ayudar a personas sin techo. Fue ahí donde conoció a Lorna MacDougall, una trabajadora social. Se casaron en 1984 y tienen una hija, Naomi[3]. Ishiguro fue admitido en 1979 en la Universidad de Anglia del Este para estudiar un Máster en Escritura Creativa. Ahí estudió bajo la tutela de Angela Carter y Malcolm Bradbury[3]. Su tesis se convirtió en su primera novela, A Pale View of Hills (Pálida luz en las colinas), que fue publicada en 1982[3]. Ishiguro obtuvo la ciudadanía británica hasta 1983[3]. Ha admitido en entrevistas que su dominio del idioma japonés es "terrible" y que no regresó a Japón sino hasta 29 años después de haberse mudado a Inglaterra[2]. Carrera literaria Su primera novela, A Pale View of Hills (Pálida luz en las colinas), que fue publicada en 1982, trata sobre una mujer japonesa que rememora sus años durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Su segunda novela, Un artista del mundo flotante (An Artist of the Floating World, 1986) también trata el tema de Japón durante y después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Fue con su tercer trabajo, Lo que queda del día (The Remains of the Day), publicada en 1989, que Ishiguro alcanzó fama internacional. Ganadora de numerosos premios, la novela fue también adaptada al cine. Sus siguientes novelas fueron Los inconsolables (The Unconsoled) y Cuando fuimos huérfanos (When We Were Orphans), publicadas en 1995 y 2000 respectivamente. También llevada al cine fue su novela distópica Nunca me abandones (Never Let Me Go), lanzada en 2005. Su obra más reciente, Klara y el Sol (Klara and the Sun), fue publicada en 2021. Ishiguro considera Dostoyevski, Proust y Charlotte Brontë como sus más grandes influencias[6][7]. Sus novelas se caracterizan por una psicología de angustia y recuerdo del pasado. El Japón de la posguerra, el nazismo y los periodos anteriores a la II Guerra Mundial son los temas más tratados en sus obras. En 2017, Ishiguro recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura. La Academia Sueca consideró de su obra que "en novelas de gran fuerza emocional, ha descubierto el abismo bajo nuestro ilusorio sentido de conexión con el mundo[8]". Ha recibido también el Premio Booker y el Premio Whitbread (mejor autor novel británico del año), y su obra ha sido traducida a múltiples idiomas. Es considerado entre un grupo de escritores que en los años ochenta dieron nuevos aires a la literatura inglesa, junto a Martin Amis, Ian McEwan, Hanif Kureishi, Salman Rushdie y Julian Barnes[7].
