Guardian Book Club: Kazuo Ishiguro talks to John Mullan


As part of its monthly Book Club, the Guardian hosts a live discussion between the author of the book in question and UCL professor of English, John Mullan.

This month, the book under discussion is Kazuo Ishiguro's Booker-shortlisted novel, Never Let Me Go. At last night's Book Club event, he talked to a crowded audience about the many issues - from passivity in the face of one's fate to what it is that makes us human - which his novel throws up. During the initial question and answer session, John Mullan raised several of the questions put by the users who have been involved in the lively discussion about the book on our Book Club blog.
