Title: Missing Persons
Review – This is a very strange but intriguing book. Modiano won the Pulitzer Prize for his book “The Honeymooners” and I heard him referenced on NPR with a spectacular review. This book is dark- film noir like. Basic story is a of a man in 1960’s Paris trying to find his identity that he lost during the halcyon days on the Nazi occupation. It’s short and very dramatic read- best done in small segments. The story traces back to before the first world war-and, I must admit, left me a bit dazed and confused. Very well written with great English translation from the French. Short and worth a try
