La Isla de la Infancia

by Patrick Modiano (Other)

Overview

Memory does not follow a chronological order: it goes forward and backward. This third volume of My Struggle is narrated in this way, with spasmodic accuracy that results in a spectacular exercise of autobiographical realty. Boyhood Island is the Tromy Island of 1969, where an eight-month Karl Ove arrives.
