Abstract
ABSTRACT Using materials from the Kazuo Ishiguro archives located in the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, this article explores Ishiguro’s unpublished film-related works – his Japanese ghost documentary film project, scriptwriting experiments for The Remains of the Day, and reviews for films – in close relation to his major novels to reflect on the cinematic influence found in his writing. I argue that his scriptwriting and thoughts about film helped Ishiguro create a type of composite universe in which illusions from individual memory and national history reflect each other and where narratives of Japan and Britain are connected with those of the world.
