Nobel Prize: 2014 .
Short Review:
In the stillness of his Paris apartment, Jean Daragane has built a life
of total solitude. Then a surprising phone call shatters the silence of an
unusually hot September, and the threatening voice on the other end of the line
leaves Daragane wary but irresistibly curious. Almost at once, he finds himself
entangled with a shady gambler and a beautiful, fragile young woman,
who draw
Daragane into the mystery of a decades-old murder. The investigation will force
him to confront the memory of a trauma he had all but buried.
With So You Don’t Get Lost in the Neighborhood Patrick Modiano adds a
new chapter to a body of work whose supreme psychological insight and subtle,
atmospheric writing have earned him worldwide renown — including the Nobel
Prize in Literature. This masterly novel, now translated into twenty languages,
penetrates the deepest enigmas of identity and compels us to ask whether we
ever know who we truly are.
