book: Marguerite Duras 1 Oca 1987

Zwart haar blauwe ogen

A strange man and woman meet during late summer at a French beach resort.

A man and a woman meet at a seaside hotel, where they remain to make love. The man, who wears make-up and kohl around his eyes, is attracted to the woman because her blue eyes and black hair remind him of a male lover whom he mourns. Now and then the woman slips of to meet another man. The lovers sob frequently, as they discourse on desire and death. The woman, who identifies herself as an actress, writer and teacher, remarks that she and the man are like figments of a book. Once the book is finished, they will be 'dissolved'.
At intervals an italicized passage in the text thrust their situation into a darkened theater. An 'actor' gives stage directions to the man and woman on reading their lines as if this was a drama and the readers were spectators
