About This Novel
"The Long Separation" is a play by Marguerite Duras that won the Palme d'Or at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival in France. Delise, who runs a cafe by the Seine River in Paris, accidentally discovered that a demented homeless man walking in front of the cafe turned out to be her husband who had been missing for many years. In the midst of fear, surprise, and grief, she constantly asked the waitress to talk to him, deliberately met him on the street, went to the shabby shack where he lived, invited relatives to talk about the past in front of him, and even invited him to her home for dinner and dance, and finally confirmed that the homeless man was the husband Abair she had been waiting for. It turned out that he lost his memory under fascist torture.
