Although originally published separately, Patrick Modiano`s three novellas form a single, compelling whole, haunted by the same gauzy sense of place & characters. Modiano draws on his own experiences, blended with the real or invented stories of others, to present a dreamlike autobiography that is also the biography of a place. Orphaned children, mysterious parents, forgotten friends, enigmatic strangers-each appears in this three-part love song to a Paris that no longer exists. In this superb English-language translation of Afterimage, Suspended Sentences, & Flowers of Ruin, Mark Polizzotti captures not only Modiano`s distinctive narrative voice but also the matchless grace & spare beauty of his prose. Shadowed by the dark period of the Nazi Occupation, these novellas reveal Modiano`s fascination with the lost, obscure, or mysterious: a young person`s confusion over adult behavior; the repercussions of a chance encounter; the search for a missing father; the aftershock of a fatal affair. To read Modiano`s trilogy is to enter his world of uncertainties & the almost accidental way in which people find their fates. ...
