Patrick Modiano est un écrivain français, né le 30 juillet 1945 à Boulogne-Billancourt. Il est l'auteur d’une trentaine de romans primés par de nombreux prix prestigieux parmi lesquels le grand prix du roman de l'Académie française et le prix Goncourt. Axée sur l'intériorité, la répétition et la nuance, son œuvre romanesque se rapproche d'une forme d'autofiction par sa quête de la jeunesse perdue. Elle se centre essentiellement sur le Paris de l'Occupation et s'attache à dépeindre la vie d'individus ordinaires confrontés au tragique de l'histoire et agissant de manière aléatoire ou opaque.
