The North China lover
Duras, Marguerite (1914-1996)
The North China lover / Marguerite Duras - 1st edition - New York : New Press : Distributed by W.W. Norton , c1992 - 231 p. ; 22 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 535).
The North China Lover is a fascinating retelling of the dramatic experiences of Duras's 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 intimate feel of a documentary. Both shocking and enthralling, the story Duras tells is "so powerfully imagined (or remembered) that it . . . lingers like a strong perfume.
