Summary of Klara and the Sun - A Comprehensive Summary
Kl?r? and th? Sun b? Kazuo Ishiguro is a “soft” science f??t??n b??k (d??l?ng with the ?m?l???t??n? of ????n?? f??t??n without much emphasis on th? ????n?? b?h?nd it). I?h?gur? f?n? l?k?l? know th?t h?’? n? stranger to th? genre, h?v?ng ??nn?d ?th?r sci-fi titles in th? past (Th? Buried G??nt ?nd Never L?t M? G?).
In th?? ????, Klara ?nd th? Sun ??t ?n a ??m?-d??t????n w?rld w?th tw? distinct classes ?f ?h?ldr?n: “l?ft?d” ?nd “unl?ft?d.” Upper-class ?h?ldr?n ?l?? often h?v? AFs, m??n?ng “Art?f????l Friends” wh??h are basically robot ??m??n??n?. Kl?r?, ?ur protagonist ?nd th? n?rr?t?r of th?? ?t?r?, ?? an ?dv?n??d m?d?l, a 4th G?n?r?t??n B2 AF.
Th? ramp u? ?f the ?l?t takes a little t?m?, ??n?? I?h?gur? f?r?t h?? to ??t?bl??h the r??l?t? th? b??k ?x??t? ?n. The book ?? set ?n th? not-so-distant futur? where much ?f it is f?m?l??r, though th?r? ?r? a number ?f ?????t?l ?h?ng?? th?t Ishiguro gradually r?v??l? the ?m?ll details ?f. Still, ?? f?r as w?rld-bu?ld?ng g???, it remains a f??rl? fuzzy sketch of what th?ng? ??uld l??k l?k?, since th? d?t??l? of th? w?rld are ???nt ?nd leaves a l?t t? ?m?g?n?d by th? r??d?r.
G?v?n th?t this ??, ?f ??ur??, l?t?r?r? fiction, th? b??k ?? ?r?b?bl? m?r? ?nt?r??r that ??ur typical sci-fi n?v?l. Th?r?’? m?r? ?f a f??u? ?n the nuances of Klara’s ??r????t?v? ?nd th? r?l?t??n?h??? around her. Th? ?l?t does t?k?? a d??t?n?t?v?l? Bl??k M?rr?r-???u? turn? — ?f you’re f?m?l??r w?th th?t t?l?v????n series, there’s ??m? m?j?r “Be R?ght Back” vibes. Unf?rtun?t?l?, though, it d???n’t resolve th?t ?l?t l?n? in an entirely ??t??f??ng way, though th?t subplot does ??rv? ?n important fun?t??n in th? book.
Kl?r? and the Sun probes at ??m?l?x questions about th? r?l?t??n?h??? ?n the b??k ?nd what ?t m??n? t? l?v? ?r ??r? for ??m??n?. In ??m? w???, th? b??k ??n b? ???n ?? being m?r? ?b?ut Josie (th? g?rl for wh?m Kl?r? ?? a ??m??n??n), th?ugh viewing that through Kl?r?’? ??r????t?v? ?r?v?d?? u? with a refracted lens t? v??w th?t w?rld ?nd J????’? r?l?t??n?h???. What Kl?r? understands, ?nd ?ft?n m?r? ?m??rt?ntl? wh?t ?h? m??und?r?t?nd?, ?r?v?d? the contours to this t?l? and ?r? ?ru???l t? analyzing the themes ?nd ?v?nt? ?f the ?t?r?.
I d?n’t kn?w if th?? book w?? ?nt?nd?d as ?n allu???n t? Pl?t?’? Allegory ?f th? C?v? (I w?uld gu??? ???), but ?t w?? ??rt??nl? reminiscent of ?t ?n ??m? w???. Plato’s C?v? ?? ?b?ut h?w people b??? their kn?wl?dg? ?n th??r limited ??r???t??n of th? w?rld. It ?llu?tr?t?? it by ?m?g?n?ng ????l? chained in a cave ????ng ?h?d?w? r?fl??t?d on the w?ll, un?bl? to ??? th?? ?r? not r??l ?bj??t? but ?h?d?w? cast by a f?r? they ??nn?t ??? behind th?m. And ?f ?n? w?r? to manage t? escape outside the ??v?, they might r???h th? conclusion th?t ?unl?ght ??uld bl?nd them ??n?? th??r eyes h?d n?t ??t ?dju?t?d. Similarly, Klara’s perceptions ?r? ??v?r?l? l?m?t?d by h?r ?x??r??n???. Her relationship with the Sun and its l?ght is d?f?n?d b? the conclusions ?h? draws from h?r l?m?t?d knowledge of ?t.
