“Children never ask themselves any questions. Many years afterwards, we attempt to solve puzzles that were not mysteries at the time and we try to decipher half-obliterated letters from a language that is too old and whose alphabet we don’t even know.”
“The unfolding of the past in So You Don’t Get Lost in the Neighbourhood is one of the most remarkable accounts of sleuthing, of unburying painful events from the past, that I can ever remember reading.” Prof. Charles R. Larson
A detective story like no other, perhaps it is sometimes necessary not to learn the whole truth, especially if it concerns your own parents and your country’s past? Patrick Modiano’s novels deal with loss, memory and amnesia, indivual and collective.
