Praise for SO YOU DON'T GET LOST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

New Yorker, Books We Loved in 2015  Paste Magazine, 30 Best Fiction Books of 2015  “An ideal writer to gorge on, in part because his books are airy and short . . . and in part because they make up a system as beguiling and complete as any in contemporary literature . . . A moody, delectable noir.” —New Yorker “The novel is a suspenseful inquiry into memory and storytelling, including the stories we tell ourselves about our own lives.  It’s the best kind of mystery, the kind never stops haunting you. A—” —Entertainment Weekly "Modiano has continued his celebrated life’s work in these pages. The mystery, the journey, is the story. And the beauty of his prose shines once again in this deep, short read that provokes the trappings of too many musings and desires, albeit a welcome provocation." —Paste

"Modiano writes tantalizingly . . . Modiano blends elements of the procedural, the ghost story, and the existentialist novels of his youth to unpeel an extremely juicy onion at whose core, in the end, would seem to be a meditation on the nature of memory and storytelling alike . . . Vintage Modiano, and a pleasure for fans of neonoir fiction." -- Kirkus "Modiano's text rewards the patient reader . . . Build[s] toward a powerful, memorable conclusion." -- Publishers Weekly "A work of melancholic beauty . . . Sincere, shattering, magnificent." -- L'Express

Présentation de l'éditeur :

“A suspenseful inquiry into memory and storytelling, including the stories we tell ourselves about our own lives. It’s the best kind of mystery, the kind that never stops haunting you.” —Entertainment Weekly “A moody, delectable noir.” — The New Yorker A haunting novel of suspense from the winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature 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.
