"Кольцевые дороги" повествует о поисках сыном своего отца-еврея, который исчез десять лет назад • Эти блестящие, почти галлюцинаторные воспоминания об оккупации пытаются изгнать демонов из прошлого, исследуя морально неоднозначные миры сотрудничества и сопротивления • Книга на английском языке • When Patrick Modiano was awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize for Literature he was praised for using the 'art of memory' to bring to life the Occupation of Paris during the Second World War
