Days [ ) Reveal the secret | Patrick Modiano, 2014

Ralph Gibson, M.J. in Little Mirror, 1973

“It was as though he were about to reveal the secret origins to him, all those years
from the beginning of one’s life that had been forgotten, apart from the occasional
detail that rises up from the depths, a street entirely covered by a canopy of leaves,
a smell, a name that is familiar but which you no longer know whom
it belongs to, a slide.”

Patrick Modiano, So You Don’t Get Lost in the Neighborhood, 2014
