Wikipedia isn't bad; it's just an encyclopedia. Good place to start:

Sir Kazuo Ishiguro OBE FRSA FRSL (born 8 November 1954) is a British novelist, screenwriter, and short-story writer. He was born in Nagasaki, Japan, but his family moved to the UK in 1960 when he was five.
Ishiguro is one of the most celebrated contemporary fiction authors in the English-speaking world. He has received four Man Booker Prize nominations and won the award in 1989 for his novel The Remains of the Day. Ishiguro's 2005 novel, Never Let Me Go, was named by Time as the best novel of the year, and was included in the magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels published between 1923 and 2005.
In 2017, the Swedish Academy awarded Ishiguro the Nobel Prize in Literature, describing him in its citation as a writer "who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world".[1] Ishiguro was knighted in the 2018 Queen's Birthday Honours List.[2]
Shit I'm/we're reading
Short piece, full of spoilers, but interesting on the place of British "Houses" of the era before.
It's a timeline. Could be helpful.
I love Shmoop
You have to get past the interview with Julian Barnes...but it's interesting...or advance 15 minutes
So to get this you need to login to MUSE...but you can get it through the library. Wicked smart read of the text.
No way I read the whole thing...I don't think. It's everything that I hate about RotD with nothing I love...so far...
