Description: "Although originally published separately, Modiano's three novellas form a single ... whole, haunted by the same gauzy sense of place and characters. Modiano draws on his own experiences, blended with the real or invented stories of others, to present a dreamlike autobiography that is also the biography of a place. Orphaned children, mysterious parents, forgotten friends, enigmatic strangers--each appears in this three-part love song to a Paris that no longer exists"--Amazon.com.
Notes: Originally published in French as: Chien de printemps, (1993);  Remise de peine, (1988); and, Fleurs de ruine, (1991).
