Four Novels:The Square / Moderato Cantabile / 10:30 on a Summer Night / The Afternoon ofMr. Andesmas
By Marguerite Duras
“In this volume of four short novels, Duras demonstrates her
remarkable ability to create an emotional intensity and unity by focusing on
the intimate details of the relationships among only a few central characters:
from the park bench couple in "The Square" (1955) to the double love
triangle in "10:30 on a Summer Night" (1960), each novel probes the
depths and complexities of human emotion, of love and of despair. Exceptional
for their range in mood and situation, these four novels are unparalleled
exhibitions of a poetic beauty that is uniquely Duras.”
