Vicekonzul

Vicekonzul

Marguerite Duras

Ovaj zagonetni roman objavljen 1966. godine, koji će nekoliko godina kasnije poslužiti kao inspiracija za autoričin kazališni komad, a potom i za film India Song, iznenadit će i dobre poznavatelje Marguerite Duras.

Što povezuje mladu Kambodžanku koja trudna luta bespućima Indije, Jean-Marca de H., francuskog vicekonzula u Lahoreu koji čeka na premještaj zbog nedoličnog ponašanja, Anne-Marie Stretter, prelijepu suprugu francuskog veleposlanika u Calcutti, Charlesa Rossetta, mladog diplomata koji se ne uspijeva naviknuti na omaru ljetnih monsuna, kao ni na neizdrživu bijedu Indije, i nekoliko dokonih Engleza što su se u Indiji zatekli pomalo slučajno?

Izrazito moderan formom, suvremene naracije, "Vicekonzul" je svojevrsni narativni eksperiment u kojem radnja lebdi između sna i jave, a priču donose glasovi izgubljenih diplomata, kor anonimnih komentatora, mlada Kambodžanka i Englez koji je poželio ispričati svoju verziju njezine priče.

Često spominjana i prizivana u tekstu, ljubav je ono za čime svi čeznu. Mislite li da okolnostima treba dati malo vjetra u leđa da bismo ipak doživjeli ljubav?, upitat će jednom vicekonzul, a odgovor će, na sebi svojstven način, ponuditi Marguerite Duras.
