Author of the quintessential Butler story wins the Nobel prize of Literature

Anthony Hopkins as Stevens in The Remains of the Day

On the 5th of October 2017, the Swedish Academy gave the Nobel prize of Literature to UK author Kazuo Ishiguro link

The film The Remains of the Day enjoys a cult status in the butler world for its depiction of a true to form English butler (Stevens) in the pre-World War II period. Admirably played by Anthony Hopkins, and directed by James Ivory, the scenes depicting butler work are exact to the minute details.

Not only for aspiring butlers, the book The Remains of the Day is a great story and a must read for all but sound especially relevant if this is your line of business.
