具體描述
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.

##一開始覺得是delirium+the buried giant，可能是翻譯的問題寫得有點平淡，身為一個biomedic（…）我還在想最後該怎麼解釋，要是它像tbg一樣為什麼消失莫名其妙地就帶過瞭我真的會很生氣很生氣，但是看到後麵就覺得為什麼好像沒那麼重要，很石黑一雄的感覺，有點沒頭沒尾，但是處理得很好，沒必要在意為什麼 聽說電視劇是石原裏美演的，感覺她比起這本書還是太濃瞭一點 ps. typewriter的穿插真的太妙瞭，到最後雞皮疙瘩都起來瞭
評分##所以到底為啥東西要消失呢
評分##反烏托邦的想象讓我不寒而慄。尤其是消失得如此乾淨。
評分##疫情下趕著讀瞭幾本這種書， 主要收獲是日本舞颱改編vs美國2021版會很不一樣，文化上不同的態度覺得很幽默
評分##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齣。有些地方大概是因為日文錶述太囉嗦，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瞭。
評分##似乎少瞭一點點深度
評分##所以到底為啥東西要消失呢
評分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.
