Bucoda, Washington: An American town where the Buried's ritual was attempted. It was destroyed by an earthquake after the ritual was interrupted. The infective forgetfulness spread by the mist seems to demand an allegorical reading. I thought of Camus’s La Peste and Saramago’s Blindness, but it was to another writer of obscure modern fables that I kept returning: JM Coetzee. Coetzee’s most recent novel, The Childhood of Jesus, met with the same baffled critical response as Ishiguro’s The Unconsoled. It was clear that something profound was being said, some deep allegory constructed, more than this was anyone’s guess. Coetzee’s tale turned upon a community that had within it a vast prison camp. A father and son arrive, are given new names, are well looked after. But always, a sense of unease, of hidden wrongs. The man and his son refuse to be processed by the apparatus of the state and finally flee. Born in 1796, William Herapath was one of the country's earliest forensic scientists. He co-founded the Bristol Medical School in 1828, where he was appointed professor of chemistry and toxicology, and was also one of the founders of the Chemical Society of London in 1841. His particular speciality was being able to find traces of arsenic in foodstuffs and on kitchen implements, and he was often called upon to testify as an expert witness in criminal cases.

Axl and Beatrice become separated from Wistan and Edwin, and they travel on alone. They are persuaded by a girl to take a poisoned goat to Querig's lair. Sir Gawain joins them and shows the way. Travelling with Wistan, Edwin has been hearing a voice that he identifies as his lost mother, calling him to her.

If Ishiguro has intended The Buried Giant as a fantasy novel he should have worked a bit harder; the genre merits more respect.

Beatrice insists that the crafts be latched together. Enter the screaming pixies. It is hysterical: the pixies swarm like locusts over the floating baskets and then are gone.
