Winner of the Prix Goncourt
In this strange, elegant novel, winner of France's premier literary prize, Patrick Modiano portrays a man in pursuit of the identity he lost in the murky days of the Paris Occupation, the black hole of French memory.
For ten years Guy Roland has lived without a past. His current life and name were given to him by his recently retired boss, Hutte, who welcomed him, a onetime client, into his detective agency. Guy makes full use of Hutte's files - directories, yearbooks, and papers of all kinds going back half a century - but his leads are few. Could he really be the person in that photograph, a young man remembered by some as a South American attaché? Or was he someone else, perhaps the disappeared scion of a prominent local family? He interviews strangers and is tantalized by half-clues until, at last, he grasps a thread that leads him through the maze of his own repressed experience.
On one level Missing Person is a detective thriller, a 1950s film noir mix of smoky cafés, illegal passports, and insubstantial figures crossing bridges in the fog. On another level, it is also a haunting meditation on the nature of the self. Modiano's sparce, hypnotic prose, superbly translated by Daniel Weissbort, draws his readers into the intoxication of a rare literary experience. (Verba Mundi)
帕特里克•莫迪亚诺,法国当代著名作家,2014年诺贝尔文学奖获得者。
莫迪亚诺1945年生于巴黎郊外布洛涅—比扬古地区,父亲是犹太金融企业家,母亲是比利时演员。1968年莫迪亚诺在伽利玛出版社出版处女作《星形广场》一举成名。1972年的《环城大道》获法兰西学院小说大奖,1978年的《暗店街》获得龚古尔奖。1996年,莫迪亚诺获得法国国家文学奖。他还分别于2010年和2012年获得法兰西学院奇诺•德尔•杜卡基金会世界奖和奥地利欧洲文学奖这两项终身成就奖。
莫迪亚诺的小说常常通过寻找、调查、回忆和探索,将视野转回到从前的岁月,描写“消逝”的过去;也善于运用象征手法,通过某一形象表现出深远的含义。
自1968年至今,莫迪亚诺已经出版近三十部小说,在三十多个国家出版。
小说以“我的过去,一片朦胧........”开头,就预示了它十足的文艺腔调。小说的故事并不复杂,说的是私家侦探居依是个失忆患者,为了找回前半生的记忆努力调查曾经生活的蛛丝马迹,做他恢复记忆的侦探。 小说始终就笼罩在一片朦胧的水汽之中,就像书中所写道的“海滩...
评分《暗店街》讲得是一个关于记忆的故事。主人公叫居依·罗郎,是一位失忆的私人侦探,读者不知道他的具体年龄,也不知道他的真正名字,只知道他在二战后为于特的私人侦探所工作了八年,现在于特准备退休,他也决定开始寻找失去的记忆。 小说以居依寻找逝去的记忆为线索展开,但...
评分《暗店街》。作者,法国当代作家莫迪亚诺。好吧,即刻开始我们的《暗店街》之旅。 一.先于事实的意义。 朋友跟我说,这样一个夜晚叫人想要恋爱。是的,恋上某个人或者仅仅恋上这个安静的季节。如此的心境在这个夜里扎下根,不论发生什么事情,它都要向着既定的方向生长,...
评分在《暗店街》里,在最后时刻,居依终于回想起他还叫佩德罗时的时光。他觉得,弗雷德和奥尔洛夫结婚的那一天,一定是他们青年时代最幸福的时刻之一。 当时我就在想,现在的我,和我心爱的人窝在上海的这个小房子里,父母仍然健在,有一批能说话的好朋友,真好。如萧红所说的那样...
评分法国作家帕特里克·莫迪亚诺(Patric Modiano)至今已出版近30部小说,最近的一部作品是2014年由伽利玛出版社出版的《为了你不在街区中迷路》(Pour que tu ne te perdes pas dans le quartier)。《暗店街》是莫迪亚诺1978年的作品,该小说获得当年的龚古尔文学奖,它...
It seems like the author wanted to express the "I consist of my past; I am built from my past, so I am nothing without my past" kind of feeling. I always believe that my past doesn't define me; but if it doesn't, what does? The present "me" is composed by the past "me", and the future "me" doesn't yet exist. Only the past is real...
评分Scraps. shreds have come to light as a result of my searches... But then that is perhaps what a life amounts to...
评分除了最早的三部曲,Modiano的小说都一样,残缺的叙事者在失重的时间里寻找自己,并发现无法找回。轻柔到没有形体的语言,节制到极点的叙事,唯一的执着是巴黎数不完的街道名。这部小说由于设定,几乎像是Modiano风格的模版,倒不算是写的最好的。
评分不喜欢英译版的标题。
