«Le Square» is the novel by French writer Marguerite Duras, published by Folio in paperback (160 pages, in French).
A maid and a street vendor meet in a public park and talk about lives marked by poverty and loneliness. Through their words, the novel explores hope and the search for meaning in everyday existence, with a minimalist style and a dialogue that serves as a refuge against chance.
It was originally published in 1955; this French edition came out in 1990 and corresponds to volume A38224 of the Folio series.
For readers of modern French fiction interested in anonymous and precarious lives in the big city.
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.
