Abstract

The article focuses on the process of growth in Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go," a novel set in an alternative Britain in the late 1990s, narrating the coming-of-age story of Kathy H., a thirty-one-year-old clone. Topics include the revelation of the clones' roles as donors, the critique of Kathy's passive acceptance of her predetermined fate, and the novel's departure from the traditional bildungsroman by linking Kathy's anti-Bildung to remote geographies.
