IMPUDENT ONES A NOVEL
eBook - 2021
Published for the first time in English, the debut novel of Marguerite Duras- renowned author of The Lover and The War-is the story of a family's moral reckoning and a daughter's fall from grace. Duras's great gift was her ability to bring vivid and passionate life to characters with whom society may not have sympathized, but with whom readers certainly do. With storytelling that evokes in equal parts beauty and brutality, The Impudent Ones depicts the scalding effects of seduction and disrepute on the soul of a young French girl. Including an essay on the story behind The Impudent Ones by Jean Vallier-biographer of the late Duras- which contextualizes the origins of Duras' debut novel, this one-of-a-kind publishing ende...avor will delight established Duras' fans and a new generation of readers alike.
