On an anonymous island, objects are disappearing: first hat, then ribbon, bird, rose. , , , Most of the residents are oblivious to these changes, while some people are able to remember lost objects, who live in fear of the Dracian Memory police, who are committed to ensure that what has disappeared has forgotten. When a young writer finds out that his editor is in danger, he plans to hide him under his F lorboard, and together he sticks to his writing as the last way to preserve the past. Powerful and stimulating, memory police is a stunning novel about loss of loss.
