Absurdity and Rebellion——A Camusian Interpretation of The Unconsoled
In The Unconsoled,a departure from orthodox realism,Ishiguro subverts his previous typical pattern by adding surreal elements such as chaos and dreams.The absurd narrative and supernatural atmosphere make this novel the most complex and obscure work among Ishiguro's writing career.In The Unconsoled,Ishiguro cre-ates a bizarre and absurd world through Kafkaesque writing,depicting many lonely,lost and absurd characters and their paths of rebellion to seek consolation.From the viewpoint of the philosophical system of Camus's"ab-surdity and rebellion",the rebellion of solitude and solidarity and the permeation of absurdity and rebellion can be revealed,and the intertwinement of despair and happiness and the unity of bewilderment and consolation can also be explored.The Unconsoled serves as a contemporary fable,reflecting human's absurd survival predica-ments and presenting a postmodernist profound optimism.Thereby Kazuo Ishiguro's philosophical insight and humanistic concern can be well apprehended.
