After the Circus: A Novel | Patrick Modiano
post image
Pickpick

After a chance encounter at a police station, naïve protagonist Jean becomes smitten with a mysterious woman living under a false name and giving vague answers.

Published in 1992, Un Cirque Passe (After the Circus) is notable for its noir-like ambience of Paris in the sixties and the concision of its sentences. A short, intriguing read.

French author Patrick Modiano won the Nobel prize for literature in 2014.
