Trade Review
"Modiano's existential noir novel employs a moody, atmospheric prose (smoothly translated by Jordan Stump) to create a strange love story that somehow manages to be both suspenseful and contemplative."-New York Times Book Review New York Times Book Review "The character development is skillful, and the translator provides not only an excellent translation but a good introduction to Modiano."-Library Journal Library Journal "[Out of the Dark] introduces to American readers one of the most prolific and critically esteemed French novelists of the last thirty years... A whiff of Jeanne Moreau's corrupted glamour in Truffaut's Jules and Jim hangs over this affecting story of loss."-Kirkus Reviews Kirkus Reviews "Translated smoothly by Stump, the narrative offers an accessible introduction to Modiano's work."-Publishers Weekly Publishers Weekly
