Duras Marguerite

Summary

 

Marguerite Duras: The Vice Consul

What connects a young Cambodian pregnant woman wandering the wastelands of India, Jean-Marc de H., the French vice consul in Lahore who is awaiting transfer due to misconduct, Anne-Marie Stretter, the beautiful wife of the French ambassador in Calcutta, Charles Rossett, a young diplomat who cannot get used to the wardrobe of the summer monsoons, as well as the unbearable misery of India, and a few idle Englishmen who happened to be in India somewhat by accident? This enigmatic novel published in 1966, which a few years later will serve as inspiration for the author's theater play and then for the film India Song, will surprise even those who know Marguerite Duras well. Extremely modern in form, contemporary narration, Vice Consul is a kind of narrative experiment in which the action floats between dream and reality, and the story is brought by the voices of lost diplomats, a chorus of anonymous commentators, a young Cambodian woman and an Englishman who wanted to tell his version of her story.
