Nobel laureate Patrick Modiano remains faithful to his muse named Memory. In the new novel, writer Jean, the author's alter ego, is once again looking for a stranger from the past in Paris, past and present. However, unlike Modiano's previous books, Sympathetic Ink is built like a classic detective story with an unexpected ending. And the writer is expanding his horizons this time: the search that began in Paris will lead the hero to the Eternal City, where the reader will find the solution to this almost detective story. ...These two contradictory properties of memory have always struck me because, as a writer, I feel an anxious expectation in them: on the one hand, a long—gone memory suddenly rises to the surface, as if invisible ink appears under the influence of a chemical substance; on the other, an unpleasant memory, seemingly erased over time, reappears from nowhere. take hold, like a blackmailer, showing us how much we depend on other "silences" of memory, which can be broken early or late. Patrick Modiano.
