15552. THE LOVER (MARGUERITE DURAS). This paper discusses how the use of various writing styles and shifts in person and tense relate to the novelist's intention to "cross boundaries" and to be "everywhere at once, yet nowhere in particular." Also discusses how the style of the novel imitates the process of memory, how it relates to the main character's effort to assimilate and recover from her past, and how it relates to the author's views on the craft of writing. 7p., 27f., 4b.
