“The novelist has a duty to record the lives of the people who have disappeared,the people who were made to disappear,” French writer Clemence Boulouque,also an expert in Jewish studies,told The New Yorker magazine.
In his more than three dozen novels,Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes:Jewishness,the Nazi occupation,and the loss of identity.His characters collect pieces of old evidence,handwriting,photographs,police files,and newspaper cuttings.
His most admired novel,Missing Person,is a good example.It’s the story about a detective who has lost his memory.He tries to find out who he really is by following his own steps through history.
Although Modiano’s win is a surprise outside France,people are celebrating in his home country.Modiano is the 15th French literature winner.After Le Clezio’s 2008 win,it seemed unlikely that there would be another so soon.
