La Policía de la Memoria
Ogawa, Yôko
A mysterious phenomenon occurs on a small island. One day the birds disappear, the next anything could disappear: the fish, the trees... Worse still, the memory of them will also disappear, as well as the emotions and sensations associated with them. No one will know or remember what they were then. There is even a police force dedicated to persecuting those who retain the ability to remember what no longer exists. On that island lives a young writer who, after the death of her mother, tries to write a novel while she tries to protect her publisher, who is in danger because she is one of the few who remember her. She will be helped by an old man whose strength is beginning to fail. Meanwhile, slowly, our protagonist is shaping her novel: it is the story of a typist whose boss ends up holding her against her will in a loft. A work on the power of memory and on loss.
