Title : The Lover from North China - Marguerite Duras - Book

Summary :

I learned that he had been dead for years. It was in May 1990 (...). I had never thought about his death. I was also told that he was buried in Sadec, that the blue house was still there, inhabited by his family and children. That he had been loved in Sadec for his kindness, his simplicity, and that he had also become very religious at the end of his life. I abandoned the work I was doing. I wrote the story of the lover from North China and the child: it was not yet there in The Lover, time was lacking around them. I wrote this book in the mad joy of writing it. I remained a year in this novel, locked in that year of love between the Chinese man and the child. I did not go beyond the departure of the ocean liner, that is to say, the departure of the child." Marguerite Duras.
