Klara sees all things as existing in a purposeful world. One that has an order that is full of meaning, which revolves around the Sun as the source of light, intelligibility, and goodness... You can see this from the language of the “the Sun’s pattern”: there’s a pattern to things — a rhythm, an order. - King-Ho Leung, reflecting on Part Four of Klara and the Sun This week in our summer book club we explore part four of Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. This chapter is a doozy— we meet Josie’s father, go to the city, and experience a big (and disturbing) reveal. I discussed the chapter with Michael Burdett and King-Ho Leung, which you can listen to through the link in my bio or wherever you listen to podcasts (Speaking with Joy). Now it’s your turn to chime in on the discussion! Comment with your thoughts on the questions below: 1. Do you side with the Mother or the Father on the portrait project? Do you believe in the “human heart”? 2. Was Klara right to say that all humans are (at least potentially) lonely? Where do you see loneliness in this book so far?
