In 'La siesta de M. Andesmas', Marguerite Duras introduces us to Monsieur Andesmas, a sixty-eight-year-old man who has bought a house for his daughter Valérie and longs to build a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. While waiting for the contractor, the book narrates the events that unfold during an afternoon, from half past four until sunset. This work is considered a jewel of Duras's literature, where the author creates a reality that transcends imitation or imagination.
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.
