Do you love Japanese literature? The JSB Book Club will be meeting to discuss The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa.
Acclaimed writer Yoko Ogawa's 1994 science fiction novel takes place on an island reminiscent of settings from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and is influenced by the melancholy and dream-like tones of modernist writer Franz Kafka.
