About the book
Written in a stark and cinematic narrative style, this sequel to Duras 1964 novel The Ravishing of Lol Stein is a curious, yet haunting representation of the human memory, what we choose to recall, what we choose to forget and how reliable we ultimately decide ourselves to be. A traveller arrives in the seaside town of S. Thala with the intent to abandon his present. Instead he finds himself abruptly reintroduced to his past. He is soon drawn back in and acclimated to the strange timelessness and the company that is S. Thala.
