Greatly suffers (or profits?) from Unreliable Narrator, to the point that this Trope is Lampshaded by Ono himself multiple times. And while Ono is rarely portrayed sympathetically, it seems that he has lost a great deal due to the war.The precise nature of Ono's past is only revealed through a series of reminiscences, framed by the efforts of his youngest daughter, Noriko, to find a husband. This extraordinary book of recently discoveredphotographs, taken by a father and son who were professional photographers in Natchez, Mississippi, brings us for the first time a stunning array of imagesof steamboat life as it really was - from its glory days in the post-Civil War era to its demise in the years immediately following World War I. Set in Japan during the aftermath of World War II, the book follows the life of Ono, a prideful artist who seems incapable of changing his ways. An Artist of the Floating World is a novel by Japanese-born English writer Kazuo Ishiguro.
