Издания и произведения

Этот роман, написанный еще в 1994 году, актуален во все времена. Он о неизбежности потерь и тонкой, но крепкой связи человека с его памятью. Об определяющем свойстве памяти. О том, что, если изъять память из человека, на ее месте останется не заполняемая ничем пустота. Память, заключенная подчас в самых привычных бытовых вещах, таких как лента для волос, почтовая марка, птица, фотокарточка или губная гармошка, и есть главный герой этого ненаучного, но фантастического действа, палитра которого простирается между социальной сатирой, утопией и кафкианским трагизмом. Всем любителям «1984» Джорджа Оруэлла, «451 градус по Фаренгейту» Рэя…

Hat, ribbon, bird rose. To the people on the island, a disappeared thing no longer has any meaning. It can be burned in the garden, thrown in the river or handed over to the Memory Police. Soon enough, the island forgets it ever existed. When a young novelist discovers that her editor is in danger of being taken away by the Memory Police, she desperately wants to save him. For some reason, he doesn’t forget, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult for him to hide his memories. Who knows what will vanish next? 0

On an unnamed island off an unnamed coast, things are disappearing. First, animals and flowers. Then objects--ribbons, bells, photographs. Then, body parts. Most of the island's inhabitants fail to notice these changes, while those few imbued with the power to recall the lost objects live in fear of the mysterious "memory police," who are committed to ensuring that the disappeared remain forgotten. When a young novelist realizes that more than her career is in danger, she hides her editor beneath her floorboards, and together, as fear and loss close in around them, they cling to literature as the last way of preserving the past.

A haunting Orwellian novel about the terrors of state surveillance, from the acclaimed author of The Housekeeper and the Professor. 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. When a young woman who is struggling to maintain her career as a novelist discovers that her editor is in danger…
