BRITISH author Kazuo Ishiguro, best known for his novel The Remains of the Day and whose emotional uprooting from his native Japan has left an indelible stamp on his work, won the 2017 Nobel Literature Prize on Thursday.
The 62-year-old, "in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world", the Academy wrote in its citation.
