The Memory Police

Yoko Ogawa

1994 · Literary Fiction

Tr. Stephen Snyder

Picked by Marta
On an unnamed island, things disappear — roses, birds, calendars — and the inhabitants forget they ever existed. A novelist tries to hide a man who still remembers. Quiet, precise, and deeply strange. Ogawa has been writing extraordinary fiction for 30 years; this is the one to start with.
