«El lugar de la estrella» is the historical fiction novel by Patrick Modiano, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
In occupied Paris in June 1942, a German officer asks a young man where the Place de l'Étoile is; the young man replies by pointing to the left side of his chest. From that encounter, the novel explores identity, memory and persecution during the Nazi occupation, with the weight of the past and the mark of Jewish history.
First installment of the Trilogie de l'Occupation, originally published in 1968 as La Place de l'Étoile. Translation by Emilio Mendivil Llaguno.
For readers of contemporary fiction and novels about World War II, and for those interested in twentieth-century French literature.
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.
