Abstract
The paper analyzes Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go in terms of the narrative techniques that cause the reader to re-enact the cognitive process by which the characters come to comprehend their predicament. It links these techniques with the ethical implications of the novel's reshaping the topoi of dystopian fiction in view of the modern concerns with cloning and organ transplant.
