In the Café of Lost Youth by Patrick Modiano

In the Café of Lost Youth by Patrick Modiano

A young woman known as Louki frequents a bohemian Left Bank café in 1950s Paris, and the short novel reconstructs her elusive presence through four different narrators — a student, a private detective, Louki herself, and a lover — none of whom ever fully grasps who she really was.

Modiano's characteristic themes of memory, identity and the way Paris itself holds traces of vanished lives are compressed here into a slim, hypnotic novel, and Louki's disappearance functions less as a plot mystery than as a meditation on how incompletely we ever really know another person.

By the 2014 Nobel laureate in Literature. A haunting, atmospheric Parisian novel of memory.
