The 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to British writer Kazuo Ishiguro, author of The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go.
Japanese-born Ishiguro won the award for uncovering "the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world," the Swedish Academy said on awarding the 9 million Swedish kronor ($1.4 million) prize.
The award marks a return to a more mainstream interpretation of literature after the 2016 prize went to American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
More to come.
