The Remains of the Day Part One: a repressed butler drives to the West – The Curiously Specific Book Club
We’re taking our first Nobel prize winner out for a walk! Actually, it’s more of a drive, as Kazuo Ishiguro’s unforgettable creation, the butler Stevens, drives his boss’s Ford down the backroads from Oxfordshire to Cornwall. In part one we ask where exactly Oxfordshire ends and Berkshire begins (clue: it isn’t where Ishiguro thinks it is); discover another epic bench; spend a night in Salisbury; and hang out at a pond near Mere. But why no Stonehenge, Mr Stevens? Get early access to new episodes and bonus content Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
