An Artist of the Floating World

In this thought-provoking audiobook by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro, artist Masuji Ono grapples with the repercussions of his choices during Japan's imperialist era, particularly as they relate to his art and involvement in World War II. As he navigates the aftermath of conflict, Ono's reflections on his youth and the vibrant "floating world" provide both solace and confrontation with his past, ultimately revealing the complexities of identity, honor, and human frailty.
