comment
An Artist of the Floating World is a novel by Japanese-born English writer Kazuo Ishiguro. Set in Japan during the aftermath of World War II, the book follows the life of Ono, a prideful artist who seems incapable of changing his ways. And while Ono is rarely portrayed sympathetically, it seems that he has lost a great deal due to the war...The precise nature of Ono's past is only revealed through a series of reminiscences, framed by the efforts of his youngest daughter, Noriko, to find a husband. Greatly suffers (or profits?) from Unreliable Narrator, to the point that this Trope is Lampshaded by Ono himself multiple times.

Dirty Coward: Ono regards the Tortoise as this, because he never took the kinds of "risks" that Ono did.

Heroic BSoD: The closest Ono comes to this is during the meeting between Noriko's and her suitor's families.

Driven to Suicide: Averted, but heavily implied as one way for Ono to escape the dishonor of his past.
