Jean Patrick Modiano (French:[ʒɑ̃patʁikmɔdjano]; born 30 July ), generally known as Patrick Modiano, is a Frenchnovelist and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
He is a noted writer of autofiction, the blend of autobiography and historical fiction.[1]
In more than 40 books, Modiano has used his fascination with the human experience of World War II in France to examine individual and collective identities, responsibilities, loyalties, memory, and loss.
Because of his obsession with the past, he is sometimes compared to Marcel Proust. Modiano's works have been translated into more than 30 languages and have been celebrated in and around France,[2] but most of his novels had not been translated into English before he was awarded the Nobel Prize.[3]
Modiano previously won the Austrian State Prize for European Literature,
