摘要：

This essay examines Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go as a metaphor for novel reading. It addresses in particular the main characters' abiding and troubling acceptance of their circumstances. It uses the theories of Jose Ortega y Gasset and Walter Benjamin to build the argument that, by thematizing acceptance, Never Let Me Go demonstrates the reader's own nearly automatic practice of assenting to the created world of a novel.
