«Emily L.» is a novel by Marguerite Duras, published by Les Éditions de Minuit in paperback (159 pages, in French).
A French couple, in a bar in Quillebeuf during the summer, watches a British sailor and his older wife. That external gaze becomes a mirror for reviewing their own relationship: loneliness, desire, commitment and truth emerge as the scene unfolds by the oil port, the ferries and the docks.
«Emily L.» was published in 1987 in its original French version; the cover indicates 'roman'.
«Emily L.» will interest readers of twentieth-century French literature and those who follow Marguerite Duras.
Marguerite Germaine Marie Donnadieu, known as Marguerite Duras, 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.
