«Emily L.» is the novel by Marguerite Duras, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (128 pages, in Italian).
In a hotel in northern France, a French woman tries to write about her relationship while observing an English couple whose yacht has been shipwrecked. She is drawn to Emily L., a poet who seems to have forgotten her verses. The novel, a homage to Emily Dickinson, reflects on identity, writing, and how the presence of the other helps us know ourselves.
This Italian 1988 edition belongs to the I Narratori collection, with a translation by Laura Frausin Guarino.
A read for those seeking contemporary European fiction and an approach to twentieth-century French literature.
Marguerite Germaine Marie Donnadieu, known as Marguerite Duras, was a French novelist, playwright, screenwriter, essayist, and experimental filmmaker. Her script for the film Hiroshima mon amour (1959) earned her a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards.
