A review by maccymacd
So You Don't Get Lost in the Neighbourhood by Patrick Modiano

2.0

Started off very interesting and rather gripping, but then changed to become slightly dull and confusing. I have no doubt that Modiano is a great writer, and can set an atmospheric scene, but can he keep the momentum up throughout the book? For such a short novella, I found that on this occasion I lost interest. The idea of a mysterious man honing in on an author who lives alone in his apartment under the pretence of being a fan is rather eerie, but this eerieness becomes silly by the time we reach the end.
