Readings by actors David Mildon and Max Berendt kicked off an evening exploring the early, middle and late works of Patrick Modiano, with his UK translators Euan Cameron and Frank Wynne.
The discussion was chaired by Professor Michael Sheringham (All Souls, Oxford), who guided the audience through the different time layers of Modiano’s stories: the narrator’s present, the past of Occupied France, and, in between, the fascinating sixties and seventies at the heart of Patrick Modiano’s writing.
