{"product_id":"9780300218923","title":"Paris Nocturne","description":"This uneasy, compelling novel begins with a nighttime accident on the streets of Paris. The unnamed narrator, a teenage boy, is hit by a car whose driver he vaguely recalls having met before. The mysterious ensuing events, involving a police van, a dose of ether, awakening in a strange hospital, and the disappearance of the woman driver, culminate in a packet being pressed into the boy’s hand. It is an envelope stuffed full of bank notes. The confusion only deepens as the characters grow increasingly apprehensive; meanwhile, readers are held spellbound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Modiano’s low-key writing style, his preoccupation with memory and its untrustworthiness, and his deep concern with timeless moral questions have earned him an international audience of devoted readers. This beautifully rendered translation brings another of his finest works to an eagerly waiting English-language audience. \u003ci\u003eParis\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNocturne\u003c\/i\u003e has been named “a perfect book” by \u003ci\u003eLibération\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e while \u003ci\u003eL’Express\u003c\/i\u003e observes, “\u003ci\u003eParis Nocturne\u003c\/i\u003e is cloaked in darkness, but it is a novel that is turned toward the light.”","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068861530352,"sku":"9780300218923","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780300218923_p0.jpg?v=1763670576","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780300218923","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
