Never-before translated work from one of France's most renowned authors. Duras also made Abahn Sabana David into the film Jaune le soleil, which is one reason why this title will appeal to professors of film studies in addition to those teaching French or comp lit. This is the third book of Duras's to come out from Open Letter, which includes The Sailor from Gibraltar, one of the press's best-selling, and most widely adopted, titles. It reads like a play in prose, and will be compelling to fans of Samuel Beckett, Tennessee Williams, or other modernist playwrights.

In this volume of four short novels, Duras demonstrates her remarkable ability to create an emotional intensity and unity by focusing on the intimate details of the relationships among only a few cental characters: from the park bench couple in «The Square» (1955) to the double love triangle in «10:30 on a Summer Night» (1960), each novel probes the depths and complexities of human emotion, of love and of despair. Exceptional for their range in mood and situation, these four novels are unparalleled exhibitions of a poetic beauty that is uniquely Duras.
