Modiano seems to have written quite a lot of books. I am reading this one now and have read Voyage de Noces and Dora Bruder. Could anybody point me to the ones you would read next? Thanks!

In chapter 2, Guy Roland was learned about a notice in newspaper that somebody was died on 25th October and the Nine day divine service will be held on 4th November. But in chapter 6 he got a postcard from his ex-boss on 23rd October "after" that he met Styoppa on the cemetery chapel. I am wondering about these dates. Is there a typo in English text? I think Guy should had met Styoppa on 4th Nov.
