The concept of polyphonic novel was first summed up by the Soviet literary theorist Bakhtin, aiming to excavate the deep meaning of the work through the hierarchical classification of the narrative plot, and was later adopted by the Czech novelist Milan Kundera in the basis of literary practice. Combined with the carnival theory, it is further explained and changed. Based on the polyphonic novels and polyphonic narrative theories of Bakhtin, Genette and Milan Kundera, this paper analyzes the polyphony in Kazuo Ishiguro's novel "The Shadow of the Distant Mountains", and analyzes its cross-media The literary effect of narrative is deeply explored, and the meaning buried deep in the text is unearthed.
