Yann Andrea Steiner by Marguerite Duras

Dedicated to Duras' companion with whom she spent her last decade of life, Yann Andr a Steiner is a haunting dance between two parallel stories of love and solitude: the love between Duras and the young Yann Andr a and a seaside romance observed - or imagined - by the narrator between a camp counselor and an orphaned camper, a Holocaust survivor who witnessed his sister's murder at the hands of a German soldier. Memory blurs into desire as the summer of 1980 flows into 1944. An enigmatic elegy of history, creation, and raw emotion.

Marguerite Duras was one of Europe's most distinguished authors. She is best recognized outside of France for her filmscript Hiroshima Mon Amour and her Prix Goncourt-winning novel THE LOVER, which was also adapted into a film. LA DOLEUR, BLUE EYES BLACK HAIR, SUMMER RAIN, and THE NORTH CHINA LOVER are among her other works. Marguerite Duras was born in Indochina in 1914 and died in 1996.
