The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() The story takes place through the eyes of the unnamed narrator, a young woman whose mother was part of a minority of people on the island whose minds are not affected by the disappearances. Nature, too, seems to comply with the mysterious rules of these disappearances, like when roses disappear and the wind somehow knows to only blow off the rose petals and not other flowers’ petals. ![]() The Memory Police takes place on an unnamed island where a mysterious, supernatural force makes things “disappear.” “Disappearances” start in the mind-people on the island first lose all association with the object that’s been disappeared, and then they physically get rid of the item (if they can) by throwing it in the river or burning it. ![]()
