The definitive oral history of the iconic cult classic Dazed and Confused, featuring behind-the-scenes stories from the cast, crew, and director Richard Linklater.

Полиция памяти
A Novel
Yoko Ogawa - 2019-08-13 (впервые опубликовано в 1994)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Внутри нашей памяти мы все абсолютно свободны. Этот роман, написанный еще в 1994 году, актуален во все времена. Он о неизбежности потерь и тонкой, но крепкой связи человека с его памятью. Об определяющем свойстве памяти. О том, что, если изъять память из человека, на ее месте останется не заполняемая ничем пустота. Память, заключенная подчас в самых привычных бытовых вещах, таких как лента для волос, почтовая марка, птица, фотокарточка или губная гармошка, и есть главный герой этого ненаучного, но фантастического действа, палитра которого простирается между социальной сатирой, утопией и кафкианским трагизмом. Всем любителям «1984» Джорджа Оруэлла, «451 градус по Фаренгейту» Рэя Брэдбери, «Женщины в песках» Кобо Абэ и «Страны Чудес без тормозов» Харуки Мураками.
