Japan-born British writer Kazuo Ishiguro awarded Nobel for literature
An official release of the Nobel Committee said Ishiguro “in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world” .
Ishiguro is renowned as a novelist - particularly for his 1989 novel The Remains of the Day, for which he won the Man Booker.
He is the third Japanese-origin writer to get the coveted Nobel in literature.
Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan. His family moved to England in 1960 when he was five.
