Synopsis
Written in a stark and cinematic narrative style, this sequel to Duras 1964 novel The Ravishing of Lol Stein is a curious, yet haunting representation of the human memory, what we choose to recall, what we choose to forget and how reliable we ultimately decide ourselves to be. A traveller arrives in the seaside town of S. Thala with the intent to abandon his present. Instead he finds himself abruptly reintroduced to his past. He is soon drawn back in and acclimated to the strange timelessness and the company that is S. Thala.

"A strikingly original work that demands to be read, dissected, and reread until the binding wears thin and the pages scatter to the floor below . . ."Aaron Westerman, "Typographical Era"
"This is gorgeous writing that creates a metaphor of the environment, a shifting, modulating, oxidizing world of relations." Natalia Sarkissian, "Numero Cinq"
