Agreed with Eliza and Catherine here that your comparison of the work of both Monty Python and Ishiguro in critiquing the "suffer the most" aspect of chivalry is really fruitful, and I'd be really interested to hear more about it. As you point out, one does this work through thinking about memory and trauma and the other through satirical comedy: what effect do you think these generic differences have on the conversation about suffering? What does a comedic look at suffering offer us that the more brutalist reflection on trauma doesn't? Or how might they work fruitfully together?
