Hat, ribbon, bird, rose. To the people on the island, a disappeared thing no longer has any meaning. It can be burned in the garden, thrown in the river or handed over to the Memory Police. Soon enough, the island forgets it ever existed.
When a young novelist discovers that her editor is in danger of being taken away by the Memory Police, she desperately wants to save him. For some reason, he doesn’t forget, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult for him to hide his memories. Who knows what will vanish next?
The Memory Police is a beautiful, haunting and provocative fable about the power of memory and the trauma of loss, from one of Japan’s greatest writers.
For readers of The Handmaid's Tale, Fahrenheit 451 and Nineteen Eighty-Four.

評分##英譯版可以說相當好讀瞭 延續到最後的悲傷與無奈 中後部突轉的chilling to the lost, to the ones who remember
評分3-/5 My first foray into Ogawa's oeuvre left me with a sour feeling that I didn't fully understand what she is trying to achieve with this novel. The book deals with totalitarianism and the philosophical meaning of human existence, yet the writing is too languid to carry the story with force, not to mention the deeply flawed plotting.
評分##Its advertised marketing hook is the Orwellian touch. Yet to me, it is an excellent piece about mind and body.
評分##疫情下趕著讀瞭幾本這種書, 主要收獲是日本舞颱改編vs美國2021版會很不一樣,文化上不同的態度覺得很幽默
評分##所以到底為啥東西要消失呢
評分##無趣且單薄。僞科幻/文藝作品的反麵教材。論科幻,世界秩序和世界觀都沒搭起來,memory police作為權力機構,其來由、目的、閤法性沒有一句解釋。論文藝,反復描摹記憶消失的感覺,牽強附會,讓人隻有快進。完成度甚至不如《素食者》。

評分##eerily beautiful. Ogawa creates a dream-like story that leaves a chilling and melancholic sensation.
