Nobel Prize for Literature

Massive congratulations to Kazuo Ishiguro, who has won the Nobel Prize for Literature; richly deserved.

I did a degree in English and American Literature at the University of Kent, at the same time as him. I don't recall ever meeting him but we breathed the same air, so that counts, right?

A wonderful writer, and huge kudos for my Alma Mater, I am so pleased .

He's not exactly a household name but he's written a number of widely acclaimed novels, won the Booker prize, and a couple of his books (Never Let me Go, and The Remains of the Day) have been turned into very successful films.

Just heard his name on the news (rare I listen tbh but thought I'd out it on)
