Buried Giant
Buried Giant | Kazuo Ishiguro
A Best Book of the Year: "The Washington PostChicago Tribune"NPR"San Francisco ChronicleUSA TodayThe Huffington PostKansas City StarFinancial TimesBookPage" In post-Arthurian Britain, the wars that once raged between the Saxons and the Britons have finally ceased. Axl and Beatrice, an elderly British couple, set off to visit their son, whom they haven t seen in years. And, because a strange mist has caused mass amnesia throughout the land, they can scarcely remember anything about him. As they are joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and an illustrious knight, Axl and Beatrice slowly begin to remember the dark and troubled past they all share. By turns savage, suspenseful, and intensely moving, "The Buried Giant" is a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory, an extraordinary tale of love, vengeance, and war."

Finished this #ebook on #hoopla just in time for #bookclub discussion on Saturday with @VioletCavalier @hkapusta @WonderingGypsy !!!

The narrative was wandering, but I‘ll chalk it up to the mist. And the ending is vague, who knows what the outcome exactly is for Beatrice and Axl.

I‘ll be looking forward to hearing what the group thinks of the book.

451Degrees Loved the writing on this one but the story was lacking something. Great review! 4d
CrowCAH @451Degrees I agree. That‘s why I gave it a so-so. It was well written, easy to read, but the story line could have used a bit more direction. 3d

Axl & Beatrice and everyone in England are affected by a mist that induces memory loss. They embark on a journey to find their son, but they barely remember him nor know exactly where he is. They meet up w/ a Saxon warrior and a young boy who has a dragon bite. What will they uncover? This is, among other things, an exploration of the inevitable differences between age and youth. Are some things best left forgotten? My December #bookspin

I just finished this book and I‘m crying. I don‘t love most of the writing style and I have some of the symbolism left to sort through, but what a poignant and honest story about the end of life, growing old, and leaving life behind. The dragon‘s breath fills the land with fog. Is there any other fate for us?

After only a chapter or two, I fully expected a pretentious, whimsical, moralising parable.

What I got instead was a quietly enchanting story about a husband and wife travelling through the misty plains of the dark ages, meeting characters and creatures along the way.

Themes of memory, forgiveness, loyalty and revenge weave themselves through the simple story imbuing it with both meaning and ambiguity.

I again have to commend the author on his writing style. The story wasn‘t for me but his writing certainly is! At the beginning of this novel the characters mention a buried giant that is disguised as a hill and is to be avoided. One thinks that that is why the title is what it is. But then at the end of the book is this quote. Touching on the buried giant actually being the feud between the Britons and Saxons. And I just loved that!

Ishiguro I have to say has an extremely eloquent and persuasive way with his writing. As I started this novel I was very much pulled forward wanting to find out what was behind every mystery and lost memory of the characters. However I was underwhelmed by the story the more I neared the end. The absolute end of the story was perhaps my favorite part of the book but I felt like it took too long to get there with not much substance in the middle.

An atmospheric tale of knights, a dragon, and a strange mist which impairs memories. At times, this story felt bogged down while at other times the pace was frenetic. A tale of melancholy. I would have preferred a different ending.

This one is a slooooooooowwww read. The payoff wasn‘t there to finish it. It may be a good story, but I‘ll never know. 1/3 in and all I know is no one knows anything and Axl looks like somebody that somebody used to know. The author doesn‘t drop enough breadcrumbs to make this interesting enough to follow.
(I will say the art for the book on google makes it seem a lot more interesting than what I read...)

A married couple leave their post roman camp to find their son. On their journey they meet tribes of Britons + saxons, a mighty warrior as well as sir Gawain seeking a dragon who has created a mist making people forget, an oarsman to a mysterious island, ogres, and monks. An unusual but compelling story about memory and whether life is simpler if we can forget animosity, betrayals and loss. For my rdg grp this wk it shd be an interesting chat.

Ishiguro famously said that he tends to "write the same book over and over", but as skilled as he is and with a theme as rich for exploration as the caprices of memory, that's hardly a bad thing. It's tempting to say that #TheBuriedGiant is just Remains of the Day set in a fictionalized, Arthurian England, the story of a man and a society dealing with the trauma lurking beneath their foundational myths. Fair enough - it is, and it's totally great!

5⭐It's an intricate retelling of the Arthurian legend - with medieval setting, mythological creatures and the Britons against the Saxons conflict, though Arthur himself is long gone. It's also an insightful story about memory, asking important questions whether it's better to remember old sorrows and grudges, letting the vicious circle of hatred and grief spin further, or resort to oblivion and forget what you once have been...Beautiful writing 💜

Cinfhen Sounds great!! 3y

I‘m honestly not sure what to make of this book. It features a dragon, ogres, pixies, and even an Arthurian knight, but it‘s not a fantasy novel. There were times when I found myself really enjoying the tale, but others when I was confused as to the point of it. Honestly, had the book been any longer than 350 pages I likely would have bailed. ⭐️⭐️💫

I did not really like this book. Again, it had an encouraging premise. An elderly couple leave their town to try to find their son before the mist surrounding the area wipes out their memory of him. I really enjoy the fantasy genre and this book is within that realm. But it never panned out for me; it was just boring. I am planning on reading more by this author, though; apparently, this is not his usual fare. 🌟

A dreamy, mythical Arthurian tale about the nature of memory, the mercy of forgetting, and the value of being in the moment now.

I finished this about a week ago and am still chewing on it. I think it‘s intentionally enigmatic as a tool for conveying the feeling of the story beyond verbal description. I still can‘t decide if it was done very well or if it was an unsuccessful effort that missed its mark. The ending didn‘t wrap up all the loose threads and questions that I had, but again, I can‘t tell if it was intentional or not. 🤔
