Guardian Live: Kazuo Ishiguro — membership.theguardian.com

Please note that the venue has changed from Cadogan Hall to The Royal Institution.  In March 2015 acclaimed novelist Kazuo Ishiguro will publish his first novel in ten years, The Buried Giant. Join him for a special Guardian Live event at London’s Cadogan Hall. He will be in conversation with Books editor, Claire Armitstead. The Buried Giant is set in a mythical post-Roman England where memories of Arthur are fading and Britons and Saxons live in uneasy peace. It opens with a couple - Axl and Beatrice - setting off across a troubled land of mist and rain in search of a son they have not seen in years, on the way encountering monsters, ogres, corrupt monks and an elderly knight. It’s a striking departure for the author of When We Were Orphans and A Pale View of Hills, and a moving story of lost memories, love, revenge and war.
