The Swedish Academy gave English readers a gift in 2014 when they awarded Patrick Modiano
the Nobel Prize in literature.
Up until that point, only about three of his novels had been
translated into English–four if you count some very rare editions (priced well
above $100) that Ring Roads published in the 70’s and early 80’s in
England.
Now, however, its a
good time to become a Modiano completest. Since he received the award
there have been four new publications of his works, including one
collection of three novellas. Eight more will be published in the next year.
