The Memory Police
Yoko Ogawa (tr. Stephen Snyder)
"On an unnamed island, things disappear — and remembering them is a crime."
Birds, ribbons, novels: one by one, objects vanish from the island, erased from collective memory by decree, and the Memory Police hunt anyone who still remembers. A young novelist hides her editor in a room beneath the floor. A haunting, hypnotic dystopia about loss itself.
