Finished another good book!
Good in that it was amazingly well written and I loved the way metaphor was blended with the character’s thought processes. If you prefer to have things presented plainly and like happy endings, do NOT read Yōko Ogawa’s Memory Police. If you like a cautionary tale of very familiar events set on a dystopian island in Japan, try this! It’s the kind of book I started off, really enjoying the…

Exciting New Books on My Reading List: June 2025 TBR
Hello readers! I thought I’d go ahead and make a monthly TBR because I have been actively reading again. I just thought I’d let you guys know what I have at the top of my TBR at the moment. I made a small TBR a few weeks ago and I still plan to read those books as soon as they come in from Libby. Court of the Vampire Queen is a why choose vampire book that I’ve had on my physical shelves for…
I'm loving Memory Police. It's giving me shrimp emotions.
I’m currently reading Memory Police, right after I finished I Who Have Never Known Men.
Both grapple with memory as something fragile, and a kind of resistance. I love how these books evoke the sentiment that memory is like a thread that holds our identities and realities together even when everything else is stripped away.
Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa
This is the novel Kindred Spirits Book Club chose. We were all curious about the plot of this story. I came in thinking that there would be a rebellion - like in many dystopian fiction. But this fantasy fiction was the opposite of what I had thought it would be. It wasn't action packed, though there was tension. There were so many questions that were left unanswered that I kind of felt cheated at the end.
I think this is a philosophical story. It makes you question what is the essence of a human being: their body, their soul, their memories? The main character is a writer and the story she is writting is a kind of parallele to what is happening to her.
The plot moves slow, mimicking the way life is at that island. Usually in dystopian fiction, protagonists are the ones that are different from the rest of society; the ones that go against the regiment. But in this case, the protagonist experiences life like the rest. Her mother and R are the ones that are different. Her mother was taken by the memory police and R was hidden in her home; that's the only rebellious act she does.The story was okay because it made me think. I liked the Old man, R and her. But it was hard to finish because it didn't hook me. I kept waiting to know why the disappearces and did the memory police do to those they took away, but we never got answers. Maybe That's pact of the point of the story. Who knows?
