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.

评分##疫情下赶着读了几本这种书, 主要收获是日本舞台改编vs美国2021版会很不一样,文化上不同的态度觉得很幽默
评分 评分 评分 评分##這個版本的繙譯很奇妙。祇看英文版會覺文字很流暢,不過與日文版比對會發現很多句子都未譯出。有些地方大概是因為日文表述太囉嗦,不過也有很多地方完全沒有跳過的必要卻還是被譯者略過了。
评分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.
评分##四星半吧。豆瓣评分低完全是因为很多人以为这是科幻小说???很工整的文学小说,文笔至少在英译版看来有种凛冽的冷感,毕竟是得过芥川奖的作者。前五分之四都是反乌托邦式的压抑与隐忍的对抗,最后五分之一则像融化在水中的颜料,一切都失却了意义。最终,留在昨日不愿被忘记的记忆走出了密室,而不断接受遗忘的我则消失殆尽。至少构思上是精巧而富有诗意的吧。
