As he leaves the cinema where he has just watched Casablanca, one
of his favorite films, Julien is approached by a mysterious young
woman, Claire. Unbeknownst to Julien, Claire has been following him
for several days. Outside the cinema she relays a cryptic message:
"Someone's trying to find you." She insists that as a practitioner
of the little-known science of narrative psychology she is acting
as the anonymous individual's intermediary Slowly, Julien allows
himself to be sucked into Claire's investigation, and a strange
odyssey through his past ensues. In this novel by Marc Auge, a
master of ethnofiction, the two meet up in Paris cafes to discuss
the events of their lives - Occupation and Liberation, the Algerian
War, and 1968- and Julien puzzles over who in his past could be
searching for him. His ex-wife? An enigmatic lover from a seedy
corner of Berlin? Soon, Julien realizes he is in the midst of a
mysterious game of confession with a woman he knows nothing about.
In a quick reversal, he shines the spotlight on Claire. Who is she,
and why are her questions so intense? Why does she seem focused on
one particular year - 1968? As the story unravels, we begin to
understand that the puzzling nature of Claire's quest proves to be
a metaphor for other enigmas, including the mysteries of the heart.
Beautifully written, Someone's Trying to Find You is a haunting
addition to Seagull's French List, and it should not be missed.
