Representaion Supposing 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.

Crit Out Of Books Dans le café de la jeunesse perdue

After enjoying (with some reservations and frustrations) Modiano's Suspended Sentences, I picked this up because I was interested in seeing what he might do with a slightly more sustained narrative--and also because I've been trying my best to read primarily short novels lately. I'm interested in the space between novella/novel, and what makes a piece of fiction feel sustained and satisfying at around a hundred pages. In the end, this book represents an interesting example of this particular

There was a cafe near the Carrefour de l'Odeon in Paris called the Condé, which was patronized mostly by young men in their twenties. One of the patrons was a young woman whom they called Louki. She was a strange, fugitive kind of girl whom everyone remembered, but who could easily be scared into flight.Patrick Modiano gives us four windows into Louki, one of which is Louki herself. Curiously, we learn relatively little from her. It is the 1950s, when the Paris cafe scene was at its height. In

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

Set against the backdrop of the sixties in Paris, In the Café of Lost Youth explores the idea of a safe haven for those who wander through the neutral zones of a city where past, present a future are disquietingly interconnected. Bohemians, undergraduates, writers and philosophers find common ground in the Condé, a café where the four narrators struggle to set straight their half-remembered lives while navigating the turbulent waves of an elusive present. But unlike Prousts recherche, time and

I need to live in Paris for a year (or longer!) just so I can walk around and find all the streets/parks/alleys/ that Modiano talks about in his novels. Moody, atmospheric, beautiful, and excellent as always.

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
