Reviews

Turner provides an accurate, insightful translation of La passion suspendue, a series of interviews conducted by journalist Leopoldina Pallotta della Torre in 1987, published in Italian in 1989, and then forgotten. . . . Duras's writing is associated with the 'nouveau roman, ' an avant-garde genre of writing in which narration and chronology take second place, leaving readers to create meaning. The discussion of Duras's writing flair and techniques reveals the philosophical side of her personality. With her experimental style, Duras is a writer who will be unforgettable for years to come. Recommended. --Choice The Suspended Passion was initially published only in Italian and eventually forgotten about until a copy was tracked down and published in French in 2013. Turner has now produced an English translation for Duras' many Anglophone fans and students. The interviews convey one of the key lessons of Duras' creative output, both in print and film: less is more. --PopMatters
