Publisher's summary

« Pour la première fois depuis quinze ans, le nom de cette femme lui occupait l'esprit, et ce nom entraînerait à sa suite, certainement, le souvenir d'autres personnes qu'il avait vues autour d'elle, dans la maison de la rue du Docteur-Kurzenne. Jusque-là, sa mémoire concernant ces personnes avait traversé une longue période d'hibernation, mais voilà, c'était fini, les fantômes ne craignaient pas de réapparaître au grand jour. Qui sait ? Dans les années suivantes, ils se rappelleraient encore à son bon souvenir, à la manière des maîtres chanteurs. Et, ne pouvant revivre le passé pour le corriger, le meilleur moyen de les rendre définitivement inoffensifs et de les tenir à distance, ce serait de les métamorphoser en personnages de roman. »

Masterful

Modiano often revisits real or fictional events he previously wrote about. Here, he revisits the events described in one of his previous novels - Remise de Peine (one of my favorites by him). A man remembers (that describes all his novels!) but this time the reader also remembers and this eerie parallel makes the book enjoyable at multiple levels. Here also he shows plainly the transition from memories to writing, evoking and quoting Proust directly. Masterful book, masterful reading by Podalydes. A joy to listen to.

La chevreuse

Me gusta el estilo narrativo y descriptivo de Modiano . Las descripciones muy acertadas de Las calles de París.
