Honeymoon

"Modiano, winner of the Prix Goncourt, constructs "a haunting tale of quiet intensity" (Review of Contemporary Fiction). It parallels the story of Jean B., a filmmaker who abandons his wife and career to hole up in a Paris hotel, with that of Ingrid and Rigaud, a refugee couple he'd met twenty years before, and whose mystery continues to haunt him.
Praise for Honeymoon
His writing has the spare strength and telling concentration of a Simenon."

Honeymoon by Patrick Modiano
Genres: Fiction
two-stars

 

Patrick Modiano is the winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature “for the art of memory with which he has evoked the most ungraspable human destinies and uncovered the life-world of the occupation”. I read “Honeymoon” in Romanian and I’m not sure if it was the translation, but I did not like this book. I should probably try reading something else as well and I probably will at some point.
