Commentaires
'The Memory Police is a masterpiece: a deep pool that can be experienced as fable or allegory, warning and illumination. It is a novel that makes us see differently, opening up its ideas in inconspicuous ways, knowing that all moments of understanding and grace are fleeting. It is political and human, it makes no promises. It is a rare work of patient and courageous vision.' (Madeleine Thien)
'This timeless fable of control and loss feels more timely than ever.' Guardian, Books of the Year
'Echoes the themes of George Orwell's 1984, but it has a voice and power all its own.' Time
