Description of the article « The Lover — Marguerite Duras »
In 1930s Saigon, a young French girl begins a relationship with the son of a wealthy Chinese family. Desire crosses boundaries of age, class and colonial society while tensions within her own family deepen. Duras's spare, intimate narrative moves between remembered passion and the instability of memory.
