Except for ''A Pale View of Hills'' and ''The Buried Giant'', all of Ishiguro's novels and his short story collection have been shortlisted for major awards.<ref name=BritCouncil/> Most significantly, ''[[An Artist of the Floating World]]'', ''[[When We Were Orphans]]'', and ''[[Never Let Me Go (novel)|Never Let Me Go]]'' were all short-listed for the Booker Prize (as was ''The Remains of the Day'', which won it). A leaked account of a judging committee's meeting revealed that the committee found itself deciding between ''[[Never Let Me Go (novel)|Never Let Me Go]]'' and John Banville's ''[[The Sea (novel)|The Sea]]'' before awarding the prize to the latter.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article577423.ece |newspaper=The Times |title=At last, the best Booker book won |first=Rick |last=Gekoski |author-link=Rick Gekoski |date=12 October 2005 |access-date=28 June 2010}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/books/its-the-critics-at-sea/2005/10/15/1128796742760.html?page=3 |newspaper=[[The Age]] |title=It's the critics at Sea |first=Rick |last=Gekoski |date=16 October 2005 |access-date=28 June 2010 |quote=In the end, it came down to a debate between ''The Sea'' and ''Never Let Me Go''.}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Sexton |first1=David |title=Kazuo Ishiguro’s everyday dystopia |url=https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/book-of-the-day/2025/03/kazuo-ishiguro-never-let-me-go-everyday-dystopia |access-date=5 May 2025 |work=New Statesman |publisher=Newstatesman.com |date=14 March 2025}}</ref>
