With his signature blend of candor, mystery, and bewitching elusiveness, Patrick Modiano weaves together a series of interlocking stories from his family history: his parents' courtship in occupied Paris; a sinister hunting trip with his father; a chance friendship with the deposed King Farouk; a wistful affair with the daughter of a nightclub singer; and the author's life as a new parent. Modiano's riveting vignettes, filled with a coterie of dubious characters-Nazi informants, collaborationist refugees, and black-market hustlers-capture the drama that consumed Paris during World War II and its aftermath. Written in tones ranging from tender nostalgia to the blunt cruelty of youth, this is a personal and revealing book that brings the enduring significance of a complicated past to life. 410 0$aMargellos world republic of letters book. 606 $aBiographical fiction, French 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisacsh 615 0$aBiographical fiction, French. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General. 676 $a848/.914 700 $aModiano$b Patrick, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0439505 701 $aPolizzotti$b Mark$01707289 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818107603321 996 $aFamily Record$94095379 997 $aUNINA
