内容简介
······
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.

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 philosophi…
eerily beautiful. Ogawa creates a dream-like story that leaves a chilling and melancholic sensation.
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。
一开始觉得是delirium+the buried giant，可能是翻译的问题写得有点平淡，身为一个biomedic（…）我还在想最后该怎么解释，要是它像tbg一样为什么消失莫名其妙地就带过了我真的会很生气很生气，但是看到后面就觉得为什么好像没那么重要，很石黑一雄的感觉，有点没头没尾，但是处理得很好，没必要在意为什么
听说电视剧是石原里美演的，感觉她比起这本书还是太浓了一点
