16. Never Let Me Go
16. 別讓我走

By Kazuo Ishiguro. It’s hard to describe Ishiguro’s writing, except that he really plays with whether the narrator of a story is objective or not. He plays with traditional plot devices and uses the reader’s curiosity of the unfolding story drive the book forward. Never Let Me Go might technically be sci-fi, as it seems to be set in the future, but really there’s not much sci-fi about it.
作者石黑一雄，很難描述石黑一雄的寫(xiě)作，除了判斷他故事里的敘述者是不是第三人稱。他擅長(zhǎng)用傳統(tǒng)的情節(jié)工具和讀者的好奇心來(lái)推動(dòng)故事前進(jìn)。《別讓我走》可能在技巧上有些科幻，因?yàn)楣适聢?chǎng)景設(shè)定在未來(lái)，但實(shí)際上整個(gè)故事并沒(méi)有科幻色彩。
