On October 5th, 2017, Kazuo Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. The process of winning the Nobel Prize is that no person can nominate themselves, the names of the nominees can not be revealed until 50 years later, all nominations are collected in one archive, and process all starts in September of each year. It can range from academies, university professors, scientists, and previous Nobel prize laureates. The categories for a Nobel prize are the Nobel prize in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, economic sciences, and lastly the Nobel peace prize. The Literature prizes are chosen by the Swedish Academy. Ishiguro was chosen for his illusory sense of connection with the world, his exploration of memory, time, and his concern for human dignity. What really surprised me was that he was not really chosen because of the book Never Let Me Go. The book was one of the major works that helped his career and influenced the Swedish Academy's decision to pick him. I found this important for the timeline in the book because it shows how good the book is. Ishiguro winning the Nobel Prize shows his talent, and it shows the literary importance. Ishiguro made a masterpiece that is emotional and shows moral visions at the same time.
