Here is a video of Patrick Modiano at the Swedish Academy on Sunday, December 7, 2014 delivering his acceptance speech for winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. His speech (in French) has great breadth and depth. I especially smiled when he pointed out that a writer like Stendahl is better understood 200 years after his death than he was in his own time. In college, I received an honorable citation for a paper I did linking historical events to scenes portrayed in The Red and the Black. In this speech, Modiano also speaks of the challenges of mémoire; fittingly for me, as I am now working on a memoir. https://youtube/watch?v=p4BpdXSB7XQ
