Has anyone noticed something similar about Jane Austen and Kazuo Ishiguro?

It’s something in their writing styles…. the way that they take incredibly mundane things and write about them in extensive detail and make them seem really important. It creates a very unusual atmosphere in the book. They will spend pages detailing relatively routine social encounters. Think about the part in Northanger Abbey where Catherine’s various social plans are described in DEPTH. And I feel like a similar thing would occur in Never Let Me Go or Remains of the Day.

Do people know what I mean? Is there a term for this kind of writing? Are there other authors that are similar? Murakami is another one maybe. I really LOVE this style a lot, that’s why I’m asking.
