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.
Marguerite Donnadieu, known as Marguerite Duras (French: [maʁ.ɡə.ʁit dy.ʁas]; 4 April 1914 – 3 March 1996), was a French novelist, playwright, screenwriter, essayist, and experimental filmmaker. Her 1959 film Hiroshima mon amour earned her a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards.

电影算是非常忠于原著的了,但即使是一样的故事一样的独白一样的气氛,还是会觉得书和影片要表达的是两件事情。(I broke down a little every time I saw the word 'Saigon'...)

文笔还属上乘,但风格特立独行,但并无任何太过新奇之处。内容太过自恋自怜,乏善可陈。偶有妙语,但总体来说格调昏暗,人物皆不可喜,作者为人估计也不可爱。
