«Dora Bruder» is the novel by Patrick Modiano, published by Folio in paperback (144 pages, in French).
The narrator finds in a 1941 newspaper the missing-person notice for Dora Bruder, a fifteen-year-old Jewish teenager who had run away from her boarding school in occupied Paris. From that trace, he reconstructs the scant documentary remnants of her life up to her deportation to Auschwitz and interweaves that investigation with his own memory of the city during the Occupation, in a meditation on disappearance and loss.
It belongs to the Folio collection of Gallimard, number 3181.
