Un dimanche de juillet, Ambrose Guise arrive à Paris. Personne. Sauf les statues. Une ville fantôme, lui semble-t-il, après un bombardement et l'exode de ses habitants. Auteur de romans policiers anglais, il vient rencontrer son éditeur japonais. Mais il va profiter de ce voyage pour élucider les mystères de son passé, du temps où il était français et s'appelait Jean Dekker, il y a vingt ans. Il fait alors surgir dans un Paris crépusculaire, halluciné, des lieux étranges : une chambre secrète rue de Courcelles, en face d'une pagode ; un grand rez-de-chaussée donnant sur un jardin, place de l'Alma. Il réveille les spectres de Georges Maillot, au volant de sa voiture blanche, de Carmen Blin, Ghita Wattier, des Hayward... Tout un quartier perdu de la mémoire est ainsi revisité, et délivre le secret de ses charmes, et de ses sortilèges.

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.
