An amnesic searches for his identity, from Polynesia to Rome, in this novel by master storyteller Patrick Modiano: winner of the Nobel Prize in LiteratureGuy Roland is in pursuit of the identity he lost in the murky days of the Paris Occupation. For ten years, he has lived without a past. His current life and name were given to him by his recently retired boss, Hutte, who welcomed him, a onetime client, into his detective agency. Guy makes full use of Huttes filesdirectories, yearbooks, and papers of all kinds going back half a centurybut his leads are few. Could he really be the person in that photograph, a young man remembered by some as a South American attach? Or was he someone else, perhaps the disappeared scion of a prominent local family? He interviews strangers and is tantalized by halfclues until, at last, he grasps a thread that leads him through the maze of his own repressed experience.Published in France as Rue des Boutiques obscures this is both a detective mystery and a haunting meditation on the nature of the self, Patrick Modianos spare, hypnotic prose, superbly translated by Daniel Weissbort, draws readers into the intoxication of a rare literary experience.
