I read this by misdirection.
I started Patti Smith's book 'Devotion' and in the first paragraph she decides she must grab this book, Paris Nocturne, in order to go to a cafe and write something of her own. So, okay.
It's an amazing thing, this book. There's a little Céline in it -- a lot, actually -- and Breton, and Aragon. And a long stream of stories about the streets of Paris and being lost, and not quite sure what you're looking for. Walter Benjamin, kaleidoscopically.
Identifications of persons and places, subsequent forgettings and reimaginings, including -- and especially -- of the self.
The story unspools without effort or the need for justification or explanation. It's deft, and hard not to be left wondering why I didn't just choose to live in such immediacy.
I've ordered his others from the local library (sorry amazon). He won the Nobel Prize in 2014!
Read it! I'll get back to Patti and her ballpoint soon enough.

I like the concept of this book and I like the writing. I fear the author is a tad too opaque for my taste. The flow of time and the concept of not completely remembering early parts of one's life resonated with me.
