This study aims to investigate and clarify the meaning of reading novels in literary education at upper secondary school through the analysis of an introduction unit for study of writers, which works for encouraging students to come to know writers and their works and to engage in close and wider reading. Taking the Remains of the Day as a starting point gives students a guide to realize “unreliable narrator” and repetition of the word “trust” at near the end of the story. And these realization would help them to read another Ishiguro’s works and find his own style and thoughts.
