The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa
2.75
Hm idk. I expected more action/dystopia, I think. It‘s compared to 1984, but to me it belongs to a completely different genre (more magical realism imo).
I didn‘t like that no explanations were given (why is this happening, how do tactile things disappear in the memories of people, why is there no resistance like people stand up lol
I also didn‘t like the ending, I get that it is probably super well thought out and I should be meditating about loss and memory and whatnot, but to me, it just felt bland. I think it‘s beautifully written and an interesting concept, but not my fave.
