Narrative To Books Dans le café de la jeunesse perdue
« Encore aujourd'hui, il m'arrive d'entendre, le soir, une voix qui m'appelle par mon prénom, dans la rue. Une voix rauque. Elle traîne un peu sur les syllabes et je la reconnais tout de suite : la voix de Louki. Je me retourne, mais il n'y a personne. Pas seulement le soir, mais au creux de ces après-midi d'été où vous ne savez plus très bien en quelle année vous êtes. Tout va recommencer comme avant. Les mêmes jours, les mêmes nuits, les mêmes lieux, les mêmes rencontres. L'Éternel Retour. »Quatre narrateurs (un étudiant de l’école des mines, un détective privé, l’héroïne et un de ses amants) construisent le portrait de Jacqueline Delanque ou Louki. Jeune femme ayant rapidement quitté son mari et qui flâne dans le Paris des années 50/60 en déversant ses souvenirs : une enfance difficile, un mariage raté et quelques amitiés avec des clients d’un café du quartier de l’Odéon : Le Condé.

This has been a very emotional trip to Paris, touching on so many levels.I picture myself walking the streets of Paris. My then girlfriend was studying and working near the Opera, and I had too much spare time.It is morning, midday, afternoon, evening and night. At all hours I am exploring, new streets and new quarters, going by the Metro to the last station on the line, some times walking back.I have seen all the characters who might have lost their youth, and those clinging hard to whats leftThis was the first book I've read by Patrick Modiano, the well-known contemporary French novelist, and I have to say it was disappointing. I was initially attracted to it by the title, a reference drawn from 60's radical and Situationist theorist Guy Debord's "anti-memoirs." Loosely, the story revolves around a mysterious young Bohemian woman, Louki, described from several points of view: a young student who frequents the same café; a private-eye hired by her much-older husband to find her;
Lots of things have been written about Modiano's "little music", and once again it is his little music (a certain way of writing, a unique way of creating a special atmosphere, etc) that holds this novel together and makes its undeniable charms. Not by any means Modiano's best book, it is nevertheless as delightful, dreamy, bitter-sweet, vaguely melancholy and extremely nostalgic, as most of his novels are. Nothing much happens, in this story about a mysterious young woman whose portrait emerges
My first trip into the world of Patrick Modiano, and I and sorry that I havent been here before. This is just wonderful.There is no introduction and very little is gleaned from the back cover of this edition. The book is a slow building piece of investigation, where the reader will gradually create the picture of a young woman who inhabits a Parisian café. I love the way the story builds by fragments, rather like a police investigation, tiny insights being gathered from different places and
I had wanted something quick but intriguing at the library and I found this book. This is a story about a woman who is a regular at the Cafe Conde as told by four different people, one of whom is Louki herself. I loved the setting, 1950's Paris, and the reminiscing that the past is gone now, the buildings sold to foreigners and turned into high end shops. (Just like the US!)There is a sad, dreamy quality about this book, an indie movie kind of film. It was a good translation, judging by the mood
"There were two entrances to the café, but she always opted for the narrower one hidden in the shadows." Paris, 1950s. We're inside a café called Condé. Bohemian youth and some older men form the crowd of this Condé, where our central character walks in. She's a young lady, mysterious, elegant and awkwardly quiet in her ways. The regulars at the café call her Louki, but no one apparently knows her real name.Where did Louki come from? What was her past like? What is with this enigma surrounding
At the halfway point of the journey making up real life, we were surrounded by a gloomy melancholy, one expressed by so very many derisive and sorrowful words in the cafe of lost youth. With this epigraph by Guy Debord I feel ready to dig into my first mystery novel by Patrick Modiano and discover what is so special about his stories to merit a Nobel Prize in literature...The central mystery of this slim yet multi-layered novel is the eternal "cherchez la femme" the quest to unlock the mystery
