The black notebook
Modiano, Patrick, 1945-2017
Book
A writer discovers a set of notes in his notebook and sets off on a journey through the Paris of his past, in search of the woman he loved 40 years previously. In the Montparnasse district, he retraces his nocturnal footsteps around the Left Bank during France's period of decolonisation in the 1960's. As he tries to remember what brought him into contact with a gang that frequented the Hotel Unic, his quest through seedy cafés and cheap hotels becomes an enquiry into a mysterious woman who once tried to admit to a terrible crime.
