I recommend Marguerite Duras (and especially The Lover) to all those who are in search of a new literary experience. Yet many things remain unsaid because they are both beyond the readers and the characters' grasp. Her book is just as mysterious as life is. It is not the words she uses that are special but rather the way she puts them together in order to recreates life as we experience it every day. Her writing style is unique and moving in ways I never fully understand. like the witchs claw, is the basis of three of her works: the short prose/poem The Malady of Death, La Douleur, and The Ravishing of Lol Stein, a story. Among her other novels were LAprs-midi de Monsieur Andesmas (1962 The Afternoon of Monsieur Andesmas), Le Ravissement de Lol V. In the passage, Lol has an affair with the narrator, Jack Hold, which shows her transition as a person the most. She knows how to capture fateful moments and to express short-lived feelings. In the book The Ravishing of Lol Stein by Marguerite Duras, the main character, Lol Stein, goes through a journey to express her true personality. This novel (novella) is short but very intense.
Years later, and despite her being married, Lol finds herself in the middle of a new love triangle and her past is reenacted, only with different persons involved. One night at the ball, Michael Richardson left his young fiancée Lol Stein for another woman. STEIN (THE RAVISHING OF LOL STEIN) Marguerite Duras (France, 1964)
