About This Novel

This book contains the words that Duras dictated or wrote while he was seriously ill and bedridden from November 20, 1994 to February 29, 1996 (Duras died on March 3, 1996), collected and compiled by her last partner Jan Andrea. A diary, a love letter, a book. The spoken words, the written words, everything is calling for the lover, the lover who is real and imaginary, the lover who comes from the words, the lover who stays with her, the lover who is destined to leave her. This is a person's lifelong desire. People in the past, words said, random jokes, facing reality, crying. Heavy death is right in front of you, despair surges in, and the approaching void and loss are terrifying. In this way, Duras's pursuit of perfection in writing and life came to an end here.
