Oscar winner Charlie Kaufman is writing the script for a feature version of Yōko Ogawa’s The Memory Police, to be directed by The Handmaid’s Tale’s Reed Morano for Amazon Studios.
The book was released in 2019 in an English language translation, a quarter century after its publication in Japan.
On an unnamed island off an unnamed coast, things have begun to disappear. At first little things: ribbons and then roses. Soon, photographs. However, a rare few are able to remember all that no longer exists, but the Memory Police are determined to make sure that what has been erased, remains forgotten forever. When a young novelist realizes her book editor is one of those able to still remember, she hides him in a room beneath her floorboards. As the world closes in around them, they struggle defiantly to hold onto the truth.
