Has anyone here read the memory police by yōko ogawa. And if you have do you perhaps know WHY the author keeps mentioning fruits so often after they disappeared?? The main character says that she wants to buy fruit to make punch, she complains about not having any strawberries for her cake, she writes about a dress made of fruit peels in her novel, even one of the books she burns has an image of a fruit in its cover. Is the part where all fruit supposedly dissapeared a translation error?? Would the amount of times fruit get mentioned stand out to me as much if I wasn't seeking them out or if their presence didn't directly contradict one of the earlier chapters??????? What does it all mean.
