1.The LoverThe Lover
from Pantheon
Price: $8.80

Customer Review:
Ms. March was entrancing and the photography was superb. It's R rated with reason, and a fairly hard R in my opinion but there is really no way around that if you're true to the book which is probably historically accurate. I would recommend the book as well.

2.Hiroshima Mon AmourHiroshima Mon Amour
from Grove Press
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
"Hiroshima Mon Amour" is a groundbreaking French New Wave movie. It begins with the French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada) passionately making love.... then it cuts to the horrors of the atomic bomb. The viewer goes from the boudoir's pleasures to war's pain. It's a... more info

from Grove Press
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
Duras seems like the Simone Weil of fiction: her characters philosophize while they get undressed and into bed. While Duras covers the same material (man, woman, love, deceit) at least these are fine subjects in the hands of a master crafter. I don't think we can hold it against her for writing them... more info

4.[no image]Moderato Cantabile
from Tusquets
Price: $8.71

Customer Review:
This novelette (~58 pages) is one of the most technically perfect pieces of fiction I have ever encountered. The "plot" is fairly conventional (but in many ways is inconsequential to the textual developments). The amount of detail hidden away in the narrative structure is incredible and the... more info

With such intimate tone Marguerite Duras involves us in the story of her childhood. She, daughter of a poor French family in the colonies (South East Asia) has her first romantic experience with a rich Chinese man.
Class, gender, ethnicity, uprootedness, relationships, all of that mingles to... more info

I agree with a lot of the readers of this book. I just recently have gotten reaqainted with this story after seeing it for the first time when it came out.

from New Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
This memoir is a very heartfelt testiment to love, longing, hunger, suspicion, pain and regret. It is always a treat when a writer of Duras' caliber is witness to extraordinary events and the reader is pulled along as she desperately tries to find out information about her imprisoned husband. The... more info

9.PracticalitiesPracticalities
from Grove Press
Price: $9.60

Customer Review:
Creo que Duras es una de aquellas escritoras como Anais Nin (preferiblemente con sus diarios) o Sylvia Palth, con la "sharpiada" inteligencia de lograr que sus historias personales se conviertan también en las historias del lector. Mujeres que analizan la vida, la desgarran y luego operan de... more info
