In Villa Triste, Patrick Modiano transports us to the France of the sixties, where a young man under the identity of Count Victor Chmara hides from the Franco-Algerian war in a provincial city. There he meets Yvonne, a young actress, and René Meinthe, a homosexual doctor, with whom he enters a circle of worldly people who live with their backs to the postcolonial reality. However, appearances are deceiving and the idealized past mixes with a present that reveals surprising truths about Yvonne and René, turning this story into an ode to youth and a chronicle of a society that evades its recent history.
Jean Patrick Modiano, generally known as Patrick Modiano, is a French novelist and recipient of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature. He is a noted writer of autofiction, the blend of autobiography and historical fiction.
