Une oeuvre perturbante, il m'est difficile de dire si oui ou non j'ai aimé, parce que ce roman est assez déstabilisant notamment à cause du narrateur inconnu dont on découvre l'identité qu'à la moitié du livre à peu près. De plus la façon d'écrire de Duras (qui entraine les caractéristique du nouveau roman) est vraiment perturbante.

I can't say that I read Duras for her stories, I read Duras for her haunting sentences. It's a love story, between five people, and an incident that will never leave the five people alone, even ten years later.

Such a disappointment! I thought it was going to be about a female main character with some agency, but Lol Stein barely has a voice in this book. The novel is narrated by a guy who would become Lol's lover. The first half of the book was a decent exploration of Lol's backstory but then halfway that narrator turned himself into the main character and I felt extremely cheated. GTFO, Jack!
