A haunting novel of suspense from the winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature
In the stillness of his Paris apartment, Jean Daragane has built a life of total solitude.

The investigation will force him to confront the memory of a trauma he had all but buried. With So You Don’t Get Lost in the Neighborhood Patrick Modiano adds a new chapter to a body of work whose supreme psychological insight and subtle, atmospheric writing have earned him worldwide renown — including the Nobel Prize in Literature. This masterly novel, now translated into twenty languages, penetrates the deepest enigmas of identity and compels us to ask whether we ever know who we truly are.

“Readers new to Modiano, drawn in by the Nobel Prize, will enter a universe unlike any other and will remain forever captive to its enchantments.” — Figaro

“An author with a virtuoso’s command of language, equally at ease with the simple and the complex, the precise and the evocative.” — New York Review of Books
“Modiano’s most recent novel is a work of melancholic beauty . . . Sincere, shattering, magnificent.” — L’Express
“A small gem . . . Immediately striking and affecting.” — Elle France
