Love (duras Complete Works 5)
About This Novel
She took her desire with her and set sail with it. This book is the fifth volume of "The Complete Works of Duras". It includes the novels "The Rape of Laoer", "Vice Consul" and "Love" published by French writer Duras in 1964, 1965 and 1971 respectively. It is a work that highlights the author's creative style in his prime. Duras is gradually moving away from novels in the traditional sense. Her novels "lack the usual plot support and traditional narrative discourse than ever before." In "The Tribulation of Laoer", Laoer returns to his hometown of Shatara after getting married and having a child. The shadow of being abandoned by his fiancé resurfaces again, and Laoer goes crazy step by step; in "Vice Consul", the fiancé Mike Richardson follows the mysterious woman Anna-Marie Street to India, who is the wife of the French Ambassador in Calcutta, India. Love at first sight has no sequel; "Love" Lauer and Michael Richardson reunited in Shatara... The characters, time, space, and context of the three works are related, and they belong to the novel part of Duras's "India Series". They tell the story before and after the catastrophe of love. Duras is exploring "the unknown realm beyond love-trauma-rationality."
