Polish cover of the same book by Yoko Ogawa
I finished reading another amazing book by Yoko Ogawa (11 short, mind bending stories) #booksky #books #YokoOgawa
It's interesting that the english title is REVENGE while the polish translation of the title is "Grobowa cisza, żałobny zgiełk"(Deathly silence, mournful noise)

Al respecto de EL EMBARAZO DE MI HERMANA, de Yoko Ogawa:
Muchos análisis críticos dicen “la narradora es fría”, pero sería más exacto decir que:
Ogawa construye una narradora que aprende a narrar desde la frialdad porque el acontecimiento observado no admite afecto compartido.

O museu do silêncio -Yoko Ogawa
Gosto demais do desconforto estranho que a Ogawa provoca. Demorou a engatar, mas foi bom que só.
Frase: Lia a sorte pelas letras que as pessoas pressionavam ao testar as máquinas de escrever.

Yoko Ogawa – The Memory Police (1994). Dystopian fable translated from Japanese. A young woman observes the Memory Police removing objects, one at a time, to leave a barren island without any culture or hope. A condemnation of authoritarianism, more relevant than ever. #YokoOgawa

4/5⭐️
This story is an exploration of how memories shape your identity and the importance of preserving history, stories, and art in an authoritarian state.

a photograph of an asian woman, covered with comic dots. it has a dark blue-gray hue. layered on top are scraps of what appears to be bold red crayon on a faint rose-pink paper. messy; as if drawn by a child. over the woman’s right eye: a gold seal, presumably belonging to the memory police. inside the emblem is a geometric shape that resembles an abstract flower. in the outer ring, it reads the title + the author’s name. my edition also has a blurb in the upper left hand corner + a NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST emblem in the upper right

A cover of The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa.
The Japanese title of this book is Quiet Crystallization, which I prefer, as that’s what the book is really about: people forgetting until they forget that they’ve forgotten. A novel that has stuck with me. Critical reading for our times. #yokoogawa #japaneseliterature #novel #dystopia #covid
Came home today and the first book from @biggreenbooks.bsky.social arrived!! Nice surprise for the weekend 😊 #YokoOgawa #Booksky

First they come for the toys. Then the cutlery. The books are next and finally the people. Disturbing. Prescient. Inevitable? #minibookreview #thememorypolice #books #yokoogawa

Last year #TheMemoryPolice was one of my first (and best) #reads of the year, so this January I decided to read another book by #YokoOgawa : #AmoresAlMargen (Why hasn't this novel been translated into English yet?). Will "Ogawa January" be my new tradition?
Good start! 🤞

Just finished this, really enjoyed it. Not my favorite #YokoOgawa book (I found The memory police and The housekeeper and the Professor much more special), but the storytelling is very beautiful, I definitely recommend. #books #booksky
