What it is about

I did not want Memory, Desire, and Colonialism to remain language I only repeat when it sounds intelligent. The Lover gives Marguerite Duras a place on the shelf, and gives me a reason to sit with the part of human life that does not become clear just because I explain it for longer.

Why I keep it

Duras. The lover, and Saigon, and the girl.
