{"product_id":"9780803284326","title":"Out of the Dark","description":"\u003cp\u003ePatrick Modiano, winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature, is the author of more than thirty books and one of France’s most admired contemporary novelists. \u003ci\u003eOut of the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e is a moody, expertly rendered tale of a love affair between two drifters. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe narrator, writing in 1995, looks back thirty years to a time when, having abandoned his studies and selling off old art books to get by, he comes to know Gérard Van Bever and Jacqueline, a young, enigmatic couple who seem to live off roulette winnings. He falls in love with Jacqueline; they run off to England together, where they share a few sad, aimless months, until one day she disappears. Fifteen years later, in Paris, they meet again, a reunion that only recalls the haunting inaccessibility of the past: they spend a few hours together, and the next day, Jacqueline, now married, disappears once again. Almost fifteen years after that, he sees her yet again, this time from a distance he chooses not to bridge. A profoundly affecting novel, \u003ci\u003eOut of the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e is poignant, strange, delicate, melancholy, and sadly hilarious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nebraska","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118408581360,"sku":"9780803284326","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780803284326_p0.jpg?v=1763728286","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803284326","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
