Patrick Modiano, Sundays in August
Yale-Margellos, 2017
“While I have admired Modiano’s books, to varying degrees, I had not fallen in love with any of his work, until now: his crime novel Sundays in August snuck up on me and struck me deeply. I loved it!"
—The Mookse and the Gripes
Perhaps the most suspenseful, noirish Modiano — mistaken identities, stolen diamonds, missing persons — set in sun-drenched Nice, not Paris like most of his other novels.
