Paris. Éditions Gallimard. 1990. First Edition, no. 3672. Softcover in plastic wrap. Book Condition: Near Fine, some tanning to pages and gentle shelf wear at edges and spine. 157pp. Cover illustration: Pierre Le Tan.A Gallimard "folio" collection book. Novel from the notable French writer Patrick Modiano, a tale of travel and disillusionment and the ways we view, make, and remember the way we see ourselves in the world. The plot follows a filmmaker whose seemingly glamorous and international job wrought the irrepressible need to abandon his life, wife, and career to chase tragic figures from his past into holed-up hotels and the memories that continue to haunt his vision––as themes from this novel have haunted Modiano's semi-autobiographical, self-aware and recurrently self-destructive body of work.[English title: "Honeymoon"]Text in French.
