| Abstract: | The article examines the issues of Ishiguro non-membership to a certain cultural and literary tradition, starting from the author’s reflections on his own cultural hybridity and the inability to fully identify nor with cultural area of origin or to the adoption one. Under cosmopolitanism virtue the literary influences that he claims and the desire to synthesize a literature that transcends in national and cultural specificity, Ishiguro prefers and comes to embody the concept of „international writer”. |
