The Memory Police | Lily Gladstone

[Pennywise]

Ogawa’s novel is a parable taking place on an unnamed island off an unnamed coast where a majority of the island’s residents are subject to collective amnesia. They endure a process of forgetting things, including objects, people and daily rituals, with the amnesia enforced by an organization called The Memory Police. In the story, a novelist tries to hide her editor, who can still remember, from the Memory Police, while he encourages her to write her book.

Wow. I read this book last year. It's quite good with a lot of similarities to Fahrenheit 451.

Certainly has an interesting concept, good to see Lily Gladstone get a lead role.
