Distance or despair

J Bell Sani waiting for "Modern French Literature", said: "Regardless of Marguerite Duras stage is a What do housework maid or an industrialist's wife, a vice-consul, an annuity income or a 'leftist' knowledge of women, she described to us is always not a love story, but a love story ...... Marguerite Duras wrote: 'the world is not a love can replace of love. '"

This prompted us, I am afraid that Duras's novel is another way of reading; while we tend to write her "love" as "love". The so-called love is not meaningful. In all of her novels, there can be seen as the main thing, is the distance. This is a distance writer. Her characters always stay at the starting point, regardless of what is experienced, the characters are impossible to meet.

This also is the the Duras sense of love. Love, distance and despair, is a meaning. We can also say that love, which is the survival of the state of her characters, or a matrix. Duras concern is not people's lives, but human existence.

Duras's works, my favorite (can read translation) "Moderato Cantabile", "long parting," the Hendaye Shema Mr. afternoon "," Song of India "and blue eyes and black hair. " May wish to do on behalf of the "long parting. Only two real characters in the book: Dailei Si and homeless people. Wandering lost his memory, and Dailei Si tried to wake up his loss of memory. Here what she had done is not important, the important thing is he never recovered memory. Duras novel event, there is no process, events and processes are illusory. We talked about earlier figures, but they are not so much, as it is two play a role in mask.
