Japanese novel, The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa

Please join us for a discussion of Yoko Ogawa's recent novel, The Memory Police, a Kafkaesque fable of an island society whose inhabitants are subject to an unknown force that causes them to lose their memories and attachments to things in the world around them. This collective amnesia is enforced by a secret government agency, The Memory Police. The dreamlike and haunting narration explores themes of helplessness, resistance, and loyalty under the thumb of totalitarian control. Although not old enough to be considered a classic, at less than 10 years since publication, it's literary in style.
We'll be meeting at Lounge 72, the hotel bar at the Doubletree by Hilton in Hazard Center. Please plan to order a drink or appetizer.
Ample parking and a trolley stop are nearby. Attendance is limited, so please change your RSVP if you become unable to attend.
Hope to see you there.
