Never Let Me Go is a novel by British author Sir Kazuo Ishiguro. It combines science

fiction, horror, and coming-of-age elements in a beautiful but cruel story, which deals with

the power of friendship, the pains of growing up, and self-sacrifice in the face of a cruel

situation.

The book centers on Tommy, Ruth, and Kathy, who tells the story. It describes their

childhood at a strange boarding school called Hailsham House, where the children all have

excellent medical care but a very low quality of life. The students and teachers also act very

strangely. A frightening reality is revealed: The students are all “donors”—clones of other

people—who were created to donate their organs once they grow up.

The novel Never Let Me Go is not the only one by Sir Kazuo Ishiguro. He has also

written six other novels, a number of short stories, four screenplays, and a handful of song

lyrics. His moving words are highly regarded by both readers and critics. He has been

nominated (提名) for the well-known Man Booker Prize four times, and he won in 1989 with

his novel, The Remains of the Day. In 2017, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Though Ishiguro has written screenplays, he was not the one who adapted

Never Let Me

Go into a film. The film version was released in 2010 and still stayed true to the novel. Carey

Mulligan, Keira Knightley, and Andrew Garfield played Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy. I was on

the whole a success with critics and was well-liked at film festivals around the world. The

movie version, however, could not live up to the book in the end. Although audiences

generally praised the movie and the actors’ performances, the film version did not reach the

same level of success as the novel.

For breeding (繁殖) birds, timing is everything. Most species have just a narrow window

to get the food they need to feed chicks. Now, after analyzing data that span from 1975 to

2017, a science team suggests that as the climate warms, birds are not only breeding earlier,

but their breeding windows are also narrowed—some by as many as 4 to 5 days.
