An engrossing mystery of a life from master storyteller Patrick
Modiano: winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Jean B., the
narrator of Patrick Modiano's Honeymoon, is submerged in a world
where day and night, past and present, have no demarcations. Having
spent his adult life making documentary films about lost explorers,
Jean suddenly decides to abandon his wife and career, and takes
what seems to be a journey to nowhere. He pretends to fly to Rio to
make another film, but instead returns to his own Parisian suburb
to spend his solitary days recounting or imagining the lives of
Ingrid and Rigaud, a refugee couple he had met twenty years before,
and in whom he had recognized a spiritual anomie that seemed to
reflect and justify his own. Little by little, their story takes on
more reality than Jean's daily existence, as his excavation of the
past slowly becomes an all-encompassing obsession. The New Yorker
wrote, "Turning to invention to get at deeper realities of
experience is fiction's righteous mission, and Honeymoon performs
it beautifully. We all hold the keys to mysteries of our own
making, Modiano tells us. If only we knew where we hid them." This
is a singular literary experience, a masterpiece of world
literature.
