ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Yoko Ogawa's The Memory Police, life on a secluded island is governed by the mysterious disappearance of objects, beings, and even memories. The Memory Police enforce these vanishings, ensuring that the islanders forget what has been lost. However, some individuals, like the narrator's mother, retain their memories, making them targets. The story follows the narrator as she attempts to protect a close one who can still remember, delving into themes of memory, loss, and state control in a world where reality itself is constantly being erased.
