La Petite Bijou
La Petite Bijou | Patrick Modiano
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
"Quand j'avais sept ans, on m'appelait la Petite Bijou. Il a souri. Il trouvait certainement cela charmant et tendre pour une petite fille. Lui aussi, j'en étais sûre, sa maman lui avait donné un surnom qu'elle lui murmurait à l'oreille, le soir, avant de l'embrasser. Patoche. Pinky. Poulou. Ce n'est pas ce que vous croyez, lui ai-je dit. Moi, c'était mon nom d'artiste."

Weird, but very good! There are at least three different stories of interestt here, and they're all just left hanging, which is both intriguing and a bit frustrating.

My third French book isn't on Litsy yet, but here's my fourth! A couple of pages before going to sleep.

Mehso-so

perfect company for summer nights. I planning to read this mostly in bed under the comforting buzz of my window ac unit, but it ended up as company for muggy/sweaty/stinky subterranean waits in the hellacape that is summer safetracking in the DC metro. not totally inappropriate given how much the Paris metro features, and the narrator's general air of listless despair.
