The prize committee in Sweden said his works uncovered "the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world."
Ishiguro has written eight novels since he started working as a full-time writer in the early eighties. Several of his novels have been made into movies (including one that was nominated for eight Oscars), and he's written some screenplays himself.
The award was announced on The Nobel Prize Twitter this morning:
"If you mix Jane Austen and Franz Kafka, then you have Kazuo Ishiguro in a nutshell," Sara Danius, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said on Thursday when awarding Ishiguro. "But you have to add a little bit of Marcel Proust into the mix. Then you stir, but not too much, then you have his writings."
