The North China Lover
of Marguerite Duras, Leigh Hafrey (Translator)
Series: The Lover #2
Description
Far more daring and truthful than any of her other novels, The North China Lover is a fascinating retelling of the dramatic experiences of Durasâs adolescence that shaped her most famous work. Initially conceived as notes toward a screenplay for The Lover, this later novel, written toward the end of her life, emphasizes the tougher aspects of her youth in Indochina, and possesses the feel of an intimate documentary.Both shocking and enthralling, the story Duras tells is âso powerfully imagined (or remembered) that it . . . lingers like a strong perfumeâ (Publishers Weekly). Hailed by the French critics as a return to âthe Duras of the great books and the great days,â it is a mature and complex rendering of a formative period in the authorâs life.
