5 Short Stories about Music, Life, Memories by Nobel Writers

Nocturnes is a book of five short stories by Kazuo Ishiguro, a Japanese British writer who won the 2017 Nobel Prize for Literature, most of his writing often speaks of memories, regrets and feelings, including this one.

If you remember correctly, you can exchange it for another book and choose to read it because the words sprinkled on the cover:... "love songs and triumphs... that will vibrate emotions to the bottom of your memory..."

The content of the book is not just a love story, but takes the reader to explore relationships, dreams, and memories that occur in the middle of the night atmosphere, as the title suggests... where many things can happen in one night.

Read, recognize the masses of emotions that are dull and lonely rhythmically, but they are also dull that allow us to slowly think and crystallize as readers or story observers, to see the loopholes in a character's life before gradually revealing to us how to cope or disengage the restraints.

Although every story is sad, with divorce, unemployment, or lack of inspiration (all of which are true), every story is merciful, holding our hands, no matter what obstacles life has.

And every story has music as a character medium, either instrumental, atmospheric or airborne, making reading aesthetic, psychedelic and emotional at the same time.

This book gives us a very good look at the differences in the writing skills of Nobel students and writers. They can easily write for us to feel and lean according to the characters. We think that short stories are harder to write than long stories because they mean much less speech, but as much satiety as long stories or maybe more.

What story does the author make the reader feel? That story is a good story.

Even each story is about music, but there is a staple that encompasses change and acceptance of truth in it in different forms and conditions of life.

📕 favorite verses and things from this book.

• "Life is greater than loving someone." This sentence is most heartbreaking and true. It reminds us that love does not last long. When a relationship ends, we must realize that our lives have greater meaning and direction than sticking to someone.

• "You can't rush yourself out and give up after a few punches." Failure or rejection does not mean that we have no ability, but only an inappropriate timing. We should not give up after a few obstacles.

• "But please don't worry, what we've done is wonderful enough. Besides, we're not very different, bankers, musicians. In the end, we all want the same thing from life." The above sentence tells us that everyone is trying to deal with ignorance, no matter how confident anyone seems, but the truth is that we're all always thinking about dealing with situations.

• "First and foremost, we play because we believe in music." Developing knowledge and skills, including spending time promoting ourselves, is an investment that is not wasted and makes everyone aware of the value we have.

Just because God gives you a wonderful blessing, you think you have the right to everything, you think you're better than everyone else, you think you deserve to stand in the front every time, you don't see that there are many others who aren't as lucky as you are, but they work hard to have a place on the planet...
