Pedigree
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

Nichts, um sein Haupt zu betten
Die Geschichte der jüdischen Buchhändlerin Françoise Frenkel, die achtzehn Jahre lang die erste französische Buchhandlung in Berlin leitete, 1939 durch das besetzte Frankreich floh und sich 1943 in die Schweiz retten konnte. Knapp siebzig Jahre nach seiner Veröffentlichung in einem kleinen Genfer Verlag wurde dieses außergewöhnliche Buch in Frankreich zufällig auf einem Flohmarkt wiederentdeckt und ist mit einem Vorwort von Patrick Modiano erstmals auf Deutsch erschienen.
