Distinctive front cover photographic portrait of two young chinese women. Translated from the French by Leigh Hafney. Language: English. Weight: 15.7 ounces. Hardcover with DJ. Marguerite Duras (1914 1996) was a French novelist, playwright, screenwriter, essayist, and experimental filmmaker. Her script for the film Hiroshima mon amour (1959) earned her a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards. Duras's early novels were fairly conventional in form, and were criticized for their "romanticism" by fellow writer Raymond Queneau; however, with Moderato Cantabile, she became more experimental, paring down her texts to give ever-increasing importance to what was not said. She was associated with the nouveau roman French literary movement, although she did not belong definitively to any one group. She was noted for her command of dialogue. Far more daring and truthful than any of her other novels, The North China Lover is a fascinating retelling of the dramatic experiences of Duras's adolescence that shaped her most famous work. Initially conceived as notes toward a screenplay for The Lover, this later novel, written toward the end of her life, emphasizes the tougher aspects of her youth in Indochina and possesses the intimate feel of a documentary. Both shocking and enthralling, the story Duras tells is "so powerfully imagined (or remembered) that it . . . Lingers like a strong perfume" (Publishers Weekly). Hailed by the French critics as a return to "the Duras of the great books and the great days, " it is a mature and complex rendering of a formative period in the author's life. ; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 231 pages.…

Weight: 13 ounces. Paperback. Howard Barker (born 1946) is a British playwright, screenwriter and writer of radio drama, painter, poet, and essayist, writing predominantly on playwriting and for the theatre. He is best known for his plays Scenes from an Execution, Victory, The Castle, The Possibilities (included in this volume) , The Europeans, Judith, and Gertrude The Cry. He is a founding member of, primary playwright for and stage designer for British theatre company The Wrestling School. Barker has coined the term "Theatre of Catastrophe" to describe a form of dramatic tragedy he has developed. Rejecting the widespread notion that an audience should share a single response to the events onstage, Barker works to fragment response, forcing each viewer to wrestle with the play alone. Barker's plays often explore violence, sexuality, the desire for power, human motivation and the limits of language. Barker's protagonists are conflicted, often perverse, and their motivations appear enigmatic. Rejecting the widespread notion that an audience should share a single response to the events onstage, Barker works to fragment response, forcing each viewer to wrestle with the play alone. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 399 pages.…
