Kazuo Ishiguro focuses on memory, especially the way traumatic memory operates. Through individual recollections of the fragmental past, memory writing in his novels represents traumas experienced by individuals and collectivities, which are results of the socialization of traumas. In The Buried Giant, Kazuo Ishiguro sets individual traumatic experiences against the background of historical events to show the processes of memory recovery, trauma repair and history reconstruction from individual and collective aspects. This thesis interprets the novel as a metaphorical text, and holds that the real "intention" of Kazuo Ishiguro is to explore issues concerning human destinies under the cover of fantasy, including memory, forgetting, trauma, history, etc., which reflects the unique dimension of memory writing in the novel. With its fantasy tactics and fabled estrangement, the novel centers on the theme of traumatic memory and historical forgetting, raises the deeper issues troubling present civilized societies, and manifests a reflection on the meaning of life and deep contemplation of histories, which is characteristic of Kazuo Ishiguro’s works.
