    Novelist Kazuo Ishiguro Is Fascinated By How People Deceive Themselves (Fresh Air+)

    Kazuo Ishiguro's accolades are vast and varied — the Nobel Prize in Literature on one hand, an Academy Award nomination for best adapted screenplay on the other, with much more in between — but the English novelist has always been interested in how people lie to themselves. In a conversation he had with Terry back in 1995, he explains how he worked through his growing fame as an author and what it felt like to see his novel "The Remains of the Day" adapted into a big screen cinematic hit.

    Best Of: Why Do We Itch? / Writer Richard Price

    Atlantic staff writer Annie Lowery suffers from a rare liver condition that causes severe chronic itch.
