Novelist, screenwriter and short-story writer, he has been nominated four times for the Man Booker Prize and won it in 1989 for The Remains of the Day (subsequently made into a hugely successful film starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson). He’s among the small number of authors who are both critically praised and commercially successful; in 2017 Ishiguro was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
