An accident, a vanishing, a memory gap, a strange dream: a classic noir work of fiction by Nobel laureate Patrick Modiano This uneasy, compelling novel begins with a nighttime accident on the streets of Paris. The unnamed narrator, a teenage boy, is hit by a car whose driver he vaguely recalls having met before. The mysterious ensuing events, involving a police van, a dose of ether, awakening in a strange hospital, and the disappearance of the woman driver, culminate in a packet being pressed into the boy's hand. It is an envelope stuffed full of bank notes. The confusion only deepens as the characters grow increasingly apprehensive; meanwhile, readers are held spellbound. Modiano's low-key writing style, his preoccupation with memory and its untrustworthiness, and his deep concern with timeless moral questions have earned him an international audience of devoted readers. This beautifully rendered translation brings another of his finest works to an eagerly waiting English-language audience. Paris Nocturne has been named "a perfect book" by Libération, while L'Express observes, "Paris Nocturne is cloaked in darkness, but it is a novel that is turned toward the light."… (altro)
Non c'è dubbio, Modiano riscrive sempre lo stesso libro, continua a tornare sulla solitudine e lo spaesamento, ma la magia del suo sguardo, sospeso e attonito, sul presente e sul passato si rinnova ogni volta. Mi ascrivo definitivamente al suo fan club. ( )
Recuperare le proprie memorie, andare dietro un indizio, un frammento di esistenza per ricostruire se stessi. In questo caso Modiano parte da un incidente: una donna bionda alla guida di una Fiat investe un ragazzo e lo soccorre. Gli ricorda un'altra donna all'epoca della propria infanzia, somiglia proprio a quella donna che lo aveva investito da bambino, all'uscita di scuola. Viene così sospinto nei meandri dei ricordi corrosi dal tempo nel tentativo di fare riemergere la figura paterna, i legami affettivi, ombre di una vita mentre si aggira per le strade di una Parigi notturna.
