In August we're reading literary sci-fi that's been translated into English.

The Memory Police (1994, trans. 2019) – Yōko Ogawa

From Goodreads: On an unnamed island off an unnamed coast, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses—until things become much more serious. Most of the island's inhabitants are oblivious to these changes, while those few imbued with the power to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian Memory Police, who are committed to ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten.

Hope to see you at Harland!
