” It`s a book less on what I did than on what others, mainly my parents, did to me” Taking in a vast gallery of extraordinary characters from Paris` post-war years, Pedigree is an autobiographical portrait of Post-War Paris & a tumultuous childhood
- a childhood replete with insecurity & sorrow that informed the oeuvre of France`s Nobel Laureate. With his sometime-actress mother & shady businessman father barely functioning in any parental role, the young Modiano spent his childhood being packed off to the care of others, or held at a safe distance in a grimy boarding school
- which he ran away from several times. His impecunious mother had ”a heart of stone”; his womanising father once called the police when his son asked him for money, & later ceased all contact with him. But for all his parents` indifference, it is the death of his younger brother when Modiano is eleven that cuts deepest, leaving a wound that can never be healed.
