“Brilliant . . . shoots vertical shafts down into the dark morass
of human love.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“In The Ravishing of Lol Stein, Marguerite Duras writes brilliantly
[and] strongly . . . The drama proceeds savagely, erotically, and .
. . the Duras language and writing throughout the book shine like
crystal.”
—Janet Flanner, The New Yorker
