Interesting review here of a possibly interesting novel. However, I'm slightly puzzled by the fact that no mention is made of the protagonist's name: Marguerite Duras. I can't believe it wasn't a deliberate decision to use a novelist's name, and that novelist. Or maybe not. I'm just surprised the reviewer doesn't make some reference to it. It'd be like reviewing a book with a protagonist named Virginia Woolf and not talking about it.
