Never Let Me Go II

We earlier linked to an review in Slate of Kazuo Ishiguoro's new novel, Never Let Me Go. The Atlantic this month also praises it, saying "modern desperation regarding death, combined with technological advances and the natural human capacity for self-serving fictions and evasions . . . could easily give rise to new varieties of socially approved atrocities; one of the many Nietzschean insights of the novel is that successful crimes produce mutations in morality." (No link available.)

We don't read many modern novels, but we've ordered this one.
