具体描述
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.

##无趣且单薄。伪科幻/文艺作品的反面教材。论科幻，世界秩序和世界观都没搭起来，memory police作为权力机构，其来由、目的、合法性没有一句解释。论文艺，反复描摹记忆消失的感觉，牵强附会，让人只有快进。完成度甚至不如《素食者》。
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##EALD 备课补充读物（好看 但是不好看啊…
评分##所以到底为啥东西要消失呢
评分##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.
评分##eerily beautiful. Ogawa creates a dream-like story that leaves a chilling and melancholic sensation.

评分##喜欢故事中的故事
评分##英译版可以说相当好读了 延续到最后的悲伤与无奈 中后部突转的chilling to the lost, to the ones who remember
