The three novels of Kazuo Ishiguro’s mid-career illustrate their author’s quest for narrative forms that can express the temporal dimension of the human condition in Modernity. The need to discover the causes of trauma and work through its effects organises the narrative along intersecting trajectories, juxtaposing anticipation and retrospection with the linear logic of the evolution from childhood to adulthood, from ignorance to experience, and from sheltered inaction to agency and responsibility. Ishiguro draws on genres such as the  Bildungsroman  and detective fiction, which turn the passage of time into intelligible narratives, while problematising the moral reconciliation of individual subject and society. His fascination with emotion’s involvement in the durational perception of time places his novels in the category of fiction that contributes to our understanding of time, memory and accountability, and thus instantiates the cognitive dominant of modernist fiction rather than the postmodern ontological code described by Brian McHale.
