Abstract
The article focuses on the exploration of reflective nostalgia in Kazuo Ishiguro's speculative fiction, particularly in "Never Let Me Go" and Klara and the Sun. Topics include the dual nature of nostalgia as both beneficial and potentially obsessive, the contrasting experiences of characters with restorative versus reflective nostalgia, and how these narratives illustrate the value of memory and storytelling in coping with trauma and loss.
