Yann Andra Steiner
Yann Andra Steiner
Author: Marguerite Duras
"Duras manages to combine the seemingly irreconcilable perspectives of confession and objectivity, of lyrical poetry and nouveau roman. The sentences lodge themselves slowly in the reader's mind until they detonate with all the force of fused feeling and thought-the force of a metaphysical contemplation of the paradoxes of the human heart."-T...  more » (for The Lover) Yann Andra Steiner is a haunting dance between two parallel loves; the love between Marguerite Duras and the young Yann Andra, and a love witnessed (or imagined) through the narrator's window-a seaside romance between a camp counselor and a camper. The summer of 1980 flows into 1944 in this enigmatic journey through history, creation, and raw emotion. The daughter of French schoolteachers, Marguerite Duras (1914-1996) was born in Vietnam. At 17 she moved to France where she studied law and politics. She is the author of a great many novels, plays, films, and short narratives, including her internationally best-selling, ostensibly autobiographical work, The Lover (1984).
