Talent is not yet well deployed

From the first pages I let myself embark ... I must say that it starts almost brutally, as if we fell in the middle of a book. That said, the writing has helped write a tailored, neat and precise, which also makes me think of some of Maupassant (at least in his stories), taking away much of the psychological aspect his writing, which, you will agree, does not leave much and that's probably the point.

I read that this book was poorly received by critics, so that the author could almost refused the Prix Goncourt for The Lover (Wikipedia). This does not surprise me that half since I have not been particularly affected by the same characters so that history itself has not left me indifferent, that's why I intend to read that would restore the Lover new light on some people, like Mr. Jo would be revalued unlike Joseph.

Anyway, Marguerite Duras had is undeniable, great writing talent.
