A deft and dark Orwellian novel about the terrors of state surveillance, from the acclaimed author of The Housekeeper and the Professor
On an unnamed island off an unnamed coast, things are disappearing. First, animals and flowers. Then objects—ribbons, bells, photographs. Then, body parts. Most of the island’s inhabitants fail to notice these changes, while those few imbued with the power to recall the lost objects live in fear of the mysterious “memory police,” who are committed to ensuring that the disappeared remain forgotten. When a young novelist realizes that more than her career is in danger, she hides her editor beneath her floorboards, and together, as fear and loss close in around them, they cling to literature as the last way of preserving the past. Part allegory, part literary thriller, The Memory Police is a stunning new work from one of the most exciting contemporary authors writing in any language
「在妳出生之前，島上曾經有好多好多東西。晶瑩剔透的、芳香宜人的、閃閃發亮的、光豔動人的……總之，有許多妳作夢也想不到的美好事物。」
小時候，母親總是對我訴說關於「消滅」的故事。
我們居住的小島上，事物陸續消滅。緞帶、鈴鐺、郵票、綠寶石、香水……這些東西消滅的時候，大家的記憶便隨之燒毀埋葬，心靈也逐漸乾涸枯竭，徒留記憶的空洞。只有母親把這些遺落的記憶細心收藏在祕密櫃子裡。然而，我卻意外失去了母親、失去了父親、失去了雙親的遺物……如今，生命中另一個重要的事物又即將消滅……
當世上的一切消失殆盡，唯有收藏著祕密結晶的人，才能擁抱未來活下去。
