DURAS MARGUERITE THE LOVER

An international best-seller with more than one million copies in print and a winner of
France's Prix Goncourt  The Lover has been acclaimed by critics all over the world since its
first publication in 1984.  Set in the prewar Indochina of Marguerite Duras's childhood  this
is the haunting tale of a tumultuous affair between an adolescent French girl and her Chinese
lover. In spare yet luminous prose  Duras evokes life on the margins of Saigon in the waning
days of France's colonial empire  and its representation in the passionate relationship between
two unforgettable outcasts.  Long unavailable in hardcover  this edition of The Lover includes
a new introduction by Maxine Hong Kingston that looks back at Duras's world from an intriguing
new perspective-that of a visitor to Vietnam today.  (With an introduction by Maxine Hong
Kingston  translated from the French by Barbara Bray.)
