Our Problem-Free World. A novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. Translated by Elísa Björg Þorsteinsdóttir.
Our World of Trouble tells the story of a peculiar man, Christopher Banks, who grows up among his relatives in Britain during the interwar years. At the age of just nine, while the family lives in Shanghai, China, Banks is allowed to see his parents' backs. He falls out of favor with his schoolmates, but after school he makes a name for himself for his clever solutions to complex criminal cases. As the shadow of a new war looms over the world, Banks finds himself compelled to seek out his childhood memories of Shanghai, his childhood friend Akira, and the solution to the mystery surrounding his parents' disappearance. Our World of Trouble received well-deserved critical acclaim and was, among other things, nominated for the Booker Prize in 2000. (Bókatíðindi 2001).
