Disengagement and inconclusiveness is what Mark Polizzotti, the translator, writes in the introduction to describe the three novellas included in this volume. Although I tend to like to KNOW, somehow I was carried along on this meandering journey that led to nowhere, or at least nowhere you could define. And I loved it. I was in Paris, the people were colorful yet elusive, their colors muted. The places were all exactly named and precisely described. And yet I was lost. But I didn't mind. I loved it. It was, as Polizzotti, says, like Edith Piaf's smoky laments, or Brassai's nocturnal photographs. ( ) Three interesting novellas with interrelated themes of life in France, mostly Paris, during the 1960s, but with memories going back to the war and extending into the stories' present day. All are engaging, but just like life, there are no clear conclusions. The places and characters and the picture of life presented is very enjoyable, however, and as each story proceeds, we begin to understand what's going on a bit better. The audiobook loses half a star because Bronson Pinchot reads the last novella in a French accent that requires way too much work to understand. Why on Earth? Easy reading, but intellectually fulfilling, which is far too rare for me to be too critical. The title novella was more interesting than the other two, though Afterimage was enjoyable enough. Flowers of Ruin reminded me far too much of Paul Auster, though Paul Auster written by someone who is aware of what sentences are. So there's that. I suspect this isn't the place to start with Modiano, but even so, it was pleasant enough. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
