"Duras's language and writing shine like crystals."
New Yorker
A manthe travelerarrives in the seaside town of S. Thala with the intent to abandon his present, and instead finds himself abruptly reintroduced to his past. Through his subsequent interactions with "her," the woman to whom he was briefly engaged as a young man over twenty years ago, and "him," the man who walks and keeps watch over "her," the traveler is soon drawn back in and acclimated to the strange timelessness and company that is S. Thala.
Written in a stark and cinematic narrative style, this sequel to Duras's 1964 novel
The Ravishing of Lol Stein
is a curious, yet haunting representation of the human memory: what we choose to recall, what we choose to forget, and how reliable we ultimately decide ourselves to be.
Marguerite Duras
wrote dozens of plays, film scripts, and novels, including
,
The Sea Wall
, and
Hiroshima, Mon Amour
. She's most well known for
The Lover

Kazim Ali
is a poet, essayist, and novelist, and has published a translation of
Water's Footfall
by Sohrab Sepehri. He teaches at Oberlin College and the University of Southern Maine.
