Synopsis

Quatorze récits où l'autobiographie se mêle aux souvenirs imaginaires. L'auteur peint aussi bien une soirée de l'ex-roi Farouk que son père traqué par la Gestapo, les débuts de sa mère, girl dans un music-hall d'Anvers, les personnages équivoques dont le couple est entouré, son adolescence, et enfin quelques tableaux de son propre foyer. Tout cela crée peu à peu un livret de famille

About this title

About the Author:

PATRICK MODIANO was born in 1945 in a suburb of Paris and grew up in various locations throughout France. In 1967, he published his first novel, La Place de l'etoile, to great acclaim. Since then, he has published over twenty novels including the Goncourt Prize winning Rue des boutiques obscures (translated as Missing Person), Dora Bruder, and Les Boulevards des ceintures (translated as Ring Roads) as well as the memoir Un Pedigree and a children's book, Catherine Certitude. He collaborated with Louis Malle on the screenplay for the film Lacombe Lucien. In 2014, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy cited the art of memory with which he has evoked the most ungraspable human destinies and uncovered the life-world of the Occupation, calling him a Marcel Proust of our time.
