Podziemie pamięci by Yōko Ogawa

lqueijo's review against another edition

2.0

A única frase que me ocorre após terminar este livro é... "A sério???". "A sério"' relativamente a tantas coisas.
A sério que este é um dos finalistas do Booker? A sério que este livro, com uma narrativa tão inverosímil, conseguiu sobressair relativamente a outros?
A sério que este livro teve revisão e, ainda assim, no espaço de dois capítulos apresenta uma incongruência monumental?
A sério que é isto que nos reservarão os livros finalistas do Booker?
Que desilusão e tempo perdido... Pior, ainda do que "alguém" comentou... Japanese fluffy!

4/5 ⭐️: hauntingly beautiful, dream-like dystopian. The book is set on an island where things regularly “disappear,” both physically and in people’s memories. These disappearances are enforced by the Memory Police, but some people continue to remember…I loved Ogawa’s writing, the characters, and the way the story unfolded. Truly an unforgettable read. If you’re a fan of speculative or dystopian fiction, you’ll love this!
