Thala with the intent to abandon his present, and instead finds himself abruptly reintroduced to his past. Through his subsequent interactions with her, the woman to whom he was briefly engaged as a young man over twenty years ago, and him, the man who walks and keeps watch over her, the traveler is soon drawn back in and acclimated to the strange timelessness and company that is S. Thala.</p><p>Written in a stark and cinematic narrative style, this sequel to Duras's 1964 novel <i>The Ravishing of Lol Stein</i> 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.</p><p><b>Marguerite Duras</b> wrote dozens of plays, film scripts, and novels, including <i>The Ravishing of Lol Stein</i>, <i>The Sea Wall</i>, and <i>Hiroshima, Mon Amour</i>.
