    Dora Bruder

    Patrick Modiano was born in an outlying quarter of Paris in 1945. He published his first novel, La Place de l'Étoile, when he was 21, and has made a distinguished career as a novelist ever since. He has won the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie Française and the Prix Goncourt. His fiction is haunted by the trauma of the German Occupation of France, and this subject also features in the screenplay of Lacombe Lucien which he wrote for the film director Louis Malle.

    Dora Bruder

    31 dicembre 1941. Sul 'Paris-Soir' appare un annuncio: si cercano notizie di una ragazza di quindici anni, il suo nome è Dora Bruder. A denunciarne la scomparsa sono i genitori, ebrei emigrati da tempo in Francia. Quasi cinquant'anni dopo Patrick Modiano si imbatte in quelle poche righe di giornale, in quella richiesta d'aiuto rimasta sospesa. Non sa niente di Dora, ma ne è ugualmente attratto: cerca di ricostruirne la vita, i motivi che l'hanno fatta scappare, cerca di immaginare le sue giornate nel periodo della fuga. A poco a poco ricompone la storia dei Bruder: la nascita della ragazza, le origini dei genitori, i loro trasferimenti, l'ultimo domicilio della famiglia. Modiano segue l'ombra di Dora per le vie di una città che conosce e ama, la Parigi dei quartieri periferici, degli hotel ormai chiusi da tempo, dei cinema che non esistono più. Sono luoghi che hanno vissuto la guerra e conosciuto l'atmosfera sinistra dell'occupazione. L'atmosfera in cui vive la stessa Dora fino a quando, otto mesi dopo la fuga, verrà deportata ad Auschwitz insieme al padre. Qui, dove comincia la Storia degli uomini, si chiude per sempre la storia privata di Dora in mezzo a quella di milioni di altre vittime. Dora Bruder è fuggita, poi è riapparsa, ma sin dall'inizio ha mantenuto il segreto su quel breve periodo. Forse la sua è stata una fuga d'amore, o forse no, non lo sapremo mai con certezza. E proprio grazie a questo atto di disobbedienza, a questo scatto di libertà, la sua memoria non è caduta nell'oblio e rivive ora nel ritratto intenso e commovente che Modiano la scia di lei per sempre.

    A Memoir

    "Compelling . . . highly effective. . . . Mr. Modiano depends for effect not on rhetorical declaration or emotional outburst but on the accumulation of minor details. He is a writer unlike any other and a worthy recipient of the Nobel."—James Campbell, Wall Street Journal"[Modiano’s] books . . . make up a system as beguiling and complete as any in contemporary literature. . . . In Pedigree, his memoir of his early life . . . he is preoccupied with the riddle of his father."—Alexandra Schwartz, New Yorker"Nobel Prize–winning author and screenwriter Patrick Modiano recalls his post-WWII Paris youth . . . filled with the kind of live-by-their-wits characters who inform his work."—Megan O’Grady, Vogue"Terse, yet somehow infinitely generous, Pedigree both enacts and accounts for Modiano’s fraught relationship with memory and the past—his own and those of his country. It outlines the stakes of his literary practice and reveals the specific sufferings this practice entails."—Kaiama L. Gloverdec, New York Times Book Review"In this slim but potent volume . . . [Modiano] grapples with the ghosts of the past and the events that shaped the man and writer he would become."—Publishers Weekly"The only book that Modiano has explicitly identified as a memoir . . . [Pedigree] tells us that nearly all of the fictions would be true had the author not peopled them with his surrogates."—Joshua Cohen, Harper’s"This book will stay with readers long after its end and begs for rereading. . . . Echoes of the gray, bleak, yet resilient mood of François Truffaut’s 1959 film The 400 Blows are felt throughout, perhaps because both works share post–World War II Paris as the setting. . . . A truly wonderful book."—Derek Sanderson, Library Journal (starred review)"Quite a pedigree has this ever-more-fascinating Nobel Prize-winner."—James Campbell, TLS"Matter-of-fact in style and yet somehow as tantalising as his other novels . . . [written] in the laconic, seemingly neutral manner of a `report or resume’, well captured by translator Mark Polizzotti . . . Modiano pins down the traumatised post-war Paris of his youth in haunting literary snapshots."—Boyd Tonkin, Independent"Short, stark, and stunning."—Billy O’Callaghan, Irish Examiner
