Book
The occupation trilogy : La place de l'©ØEtoile, The night watch, Ring roads / Patrick Modiano ; translated from the French by Caroline Hillier, Patricia Wolf, and Frank Wynne.
The epigraph to Modiano's first novel, among the first to seriously question Nazi collaboration in France, reads: "In June 1942 a German officer goes up to a young man and says: 'Excuse me, monsieur, where is La Place de l'©toile?' The young man points to the star on his chest." The second novel, The Night Watch , tells the story of a young man caught between his work for the French Gestapo, his work for a Resistance cell, and the black marketeers whose milieu he shares. Ring Roads recounts a son's search for his Jewish father who disappeared ten years earlier, whom he finds trying to weather the war in service to unsavory characters.
