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.

##Its advertised marketing hook is the Orwellian touch. Yet to me, it is an excellent piece about mind and body.
##Audible上聽完的 故事比較淺顯易懂 小說中又套一本小說的描述算是書中比較精彩的環節 但不得不說整部小說有點高開低走 與書中本身的內容相比 書本身的啓示意義要更高一些

##即使有挺多推薦，看瞭我實在覺得不怎麼樣，想法齣發點不錯，但是整個手法都很“小傢子氣”(無趣/局促/半成品感)，浪費時間
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.
##披著科幻皮的文藝小說，不知道為什麼讀著讀著總是會想到石黑一雄（雖然技法上沒得比，這本書的手法上唯一比較精彩就是書中書裏打字員的故事瞭）。設定上有很多事情都沒有講清楚，這也是這本小說屢被詬病的地方，不過我個人還蠻喜歡這一點的——不知道為什麼記憶警察要清除你的記憶，不知道他們什麼時候要清初你的記憶，甚至有時候都不知道自己具體被清楚瞭什麼，這種莫名其妙、匪夷所思、全無固定標準的審核製度，不就是現實最好的寫照麼？就跟Hitchcock的《群鳥》一樣，你不知道鳥為何而來，纔是最恐怖的地方。
##反烏托邦的想象讓我不寒而慄。尤其是消失得如此乾淨。
##似乎少瞭一點點深度
