Analysis of the Narrative Style of Modiano from the Postmodernism - Through dans le Café de la jeunesse perdue
Abstract
extensively studied, but its postmodern aspects have often been overlooked. Modiano employs postmodern narrative techniques such as fragmentation, irony, and the blending of virtual and real in his writing. The success of Dans le café de la jeunesse perdue is closely tied to Modiano’s recurring theme of Paris and loss, which aligns with his exploration of life and postmodernist tendencies. This article aims to analyze how
the narrative style of this work showcases the postmodern elements of Modiano’s writing, using the theories of postmodernism by Ihab Hassan.
The analysis will establish the correlation between Modiano and postmodernism, contributing to the scholarly understanding of his work.
