Description
Inside our memory, we are all completely free.
This novel, written back in 1994, remains relevant in all times. It’s about the inevitability of loss and the delicate yet strong bond between a person and their memory. About the defining property of memory. That if you remove memory from a person, in its place there will remain an unfillable emptiness of nothingness. Memory, sometimes contained in the most ordinary everyday things—such as a hair ribbon, a postage stamp, a bird, a photo, or a mouth organ— is the main character of this non-scientific, yet fantastic piece. Its palette ranges between social satire, utopia, and Kafkaesque tragic gloom. For all fans of “1984” by George Orwell, “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury, “Women in the Dunes” by Kobo Abe, and “Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World” by Haruki Murakami.
