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.
##四星半吧。豆瓣評分低完全是因為很多人以為這是科幻小說???很工整的文學小說,文筆至少在英譯版看來有種凜冽的冷感,畢竟是得過芥川奬的作者。前五分之四都是反烏托邦式的壓抑與隱忍的對抗,最後五分之一則像融化在水中的顔料,一切都失卻瞭意義。最終,留在昨日不願被忘記的記憶走齣瞭密室,而不斷接受遺忘的我則消失殆盡。至少構思上是精巧而富有詩意的吧。
評分 評分##I’m only less than half way through but struggling to finish this book. I find the premise too simple, the metaphor too banal, and the plot too flawed to be engaging.
