Abstract
The article will discuss Kazuo Ishiguro's possibilities as an atypical diasporic writer by focusing on his dual international background. Next, through analyzing his early novel “An Artist of The Floating World”, the theme of the absence and subversion of identity can be revealed. By shaping an imagined post-war Japan and using unreliable narratives, Kazuo Ishiguro succeeds in conveying universal anxiety. Finally, we will explore the writer's own anxieties implied behind the context of his personal goal of so-called “universal values”, where the United States plays a role of “the other” that cannot be ignored.
