Abstract
Through a reading of Kazuo Ishiguro's Nocturnes, this essay contests the prevailing idea of the short story as a secondary form to the novel, opening up some of the distinctive affordances of the form in relation to Ishiguro's central themes and preoccupations. The essay draws particular attention to Ishiguro's mediation between archive and repertoire, asking how the repertoire might be animated in the ongoing project of reading Ishiguro's oeuvre.
