All the following books are in .ePUB + .MOBI format. Three of them — Night Rounds, Honeymoon, and Out of the Dark — are also included in .PDF.
NIGHT ROUNDS (1969) tells the story of a young man of limited means, caught between his work for the French Gestapo informing on the Resistance, and his work for a Resistance cell informing on the police and black market dealers. Under pressure from both sides to inform and bring things to a crisis, he finds himself driven towards an act of self-sacrifice as the only way to escape an impossible situation. Earlier this year, the novel was re-issued in a revised translation as THE NIGHT WATCH, also included here.
RING ROADS (1972), awarded the French Academy’s Grand Prix du Roman, is the story of a young Jew in search of his father who disappeared ten years earlier. He finds him trying to survive the war years in the unlikely company of black marketeers, anti-Semites and prostitutes, putting his meagre and not entirely orthodox business skills at the service of those who have no interest in him or his survival.
SUSPENDED SENTENCES is a trilogy of novellas — "Suspended Sentences" (1988), "Flowers of Ruin" (1991), and "Afterimage" (1993) — that form a single, compelling whole, haunted by the same gauzy sense of place and characters. Orphaned children, mysterious parents, forgotten friends, enigmatic strangers — each appears in this three-part love song to a Paris that no longer exists.
HONEYMOON (1990) parallels the story of Jean B., a filmmaker who abandons his wife and career to hole up in a Paris hotel, with that of Ingrid and Rigaud, a refugee couple he’d met twenty years before, and whose mystery continues to haunt him.
In OUT OF THE DARK (1996), the narrator recalls his shadowy love affair in the 1960s with an enigmatic woman. Fifteen years after their breakup, they meet again, but she has changed her name and denies their past. What is real and what is not remain to be seen in the dreamlike novel that typifies Modiano’s obsessions and elegiac prose.
