A nuanced meditation on the loss of identity and the transience of the self, Ogawa’s dystopian fable presents a future society where memory is malleable and recollection can vanish in an instant. Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2020 An enthralling Orwellian novel about the terrors of state surveillance from one of Japan's greatest writers. 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?
