Kazuo Ishiguro’nun 1995’te yayımlanan uzun soluklu romanı Avunamayanlar ile “Bir Aile Yemeği” adlı kısa öyküsü kahramanlarının geçmişlerine yaptıkları yolculuklar bağlamında benzerlikler taşımaktadır. Avunamayanlar’ın kahramanı Ryder adı belirtilmeyen bir Orta Avrupa şehrine seyahat ederken, “Bir Aile Yemeği”nin isimsiz kahramanı ise, annesinin ölümünün ardından babasını ziyaret etmek için büyüdüğü eve gider. Ishiguro’nun anlatısı, her iki metinde de, kahramanın geçmişine yaptığı yolculuğu bir mekan kısıtlaması olarak betimlemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Ishiguro kahramanlarının mekansal varoluşları ve geçmişleriyle olan ilişkilerini, varoluş ve mekan-bellek ilişkisi açısından çözümlemektir

Kazuo Ishiguro’s lengthy novel The Unconsoled, published in 1995, and his short story “A Family Supper” bear resemblances to each other as the protagonists in both works take a journey to their past. Ryder, the protagonist of The Unconsoled, travels to a nameless European city, while the unnamed protagonist of “A Family Supper” travels back home to visit his father after his mother’s death. Ishiguro’s narration in both of these works functions to depict the journey of a protagonist to his past as a spatial restriction. The purpose of this study is to analyse these two texts by Ishiguro in terms of the existence of their characters in relation to their spatial ontology and their past to point out the relationship between space and memory
