Vicekonzul

Vicekonzul

Marguerite Duras

This enigmatic novel published in 1966, which a few years later will serve as inspiration for the author's play, and then for the film India Song, will surprise even those who know Marguerite Duras.

What connects a young Cambodian woman pregnant wandering the back roads of India, Jean-Marc de H., the French vice consul in Lahore who is awaiting transfer due to misconduct, Anne-Marie Stretter, the beautiful wife of the French ambassador in Calcutta, Charles Rossett, a young failed diplomat accustomed to the closet of summer monsoons, as well as to the unbearable misery of India, and a few idle Englishmen who happened to be in India somewhat by accident?

Extremely modern in form, contemporary narrative, "Vice Consul" is a kind of narrative experiment in which the plot floats between dream and reality, and the story is brought by the voices of lost diplomats, a chorus of anonymous commentators, a young Cambodian woman and an Englishman who wanted to tell his version of her story.

Often mentioned and invoked in the text, love is what everyone longs for. Do you think that circumstances should be given a little wind at our backs in order to still experience love?, the vice consul will ask once, and Marguerite Duras will offer the answer, in her own way.
