Quelques figures de l’exclusion et leurs « années sombres » dans l’œuvre de Patrick Modiano
Some Figures of Exclusion and Their “Dark Years” in Patrick Modiano's Works

Summary/Abstract: One of the main messages in Patrick Modiano’s work is compassion for human beings who cannot adapt or adjust to various standards, who live in fear and are most of the time excluded from what is considered to be a “normal” society. The homosexual, the Jew, the exiled are some of the most interesting figures of marginal characters in the Modianian novels (Livret de famille; Villa triste; Pour quetu ne teperdes pas dans le quartier) and our article intends to point out their main characteristics, all of them being characters who live in the shadow of anxiety and delusion.
