The Lover

Penguin, 2022

Written by Marguerite Duras
With a sleeve by Marie Hazard
Featuring a poem by Lorraine de Thibault

“Archaeology of desire, excavating
embraces each corner hides a tower
That rises infinite possibilities of
knowledge

tiny pieces, sand of you, each hollow
hides a sign that directs me
yet it is impossible to lose yourself

because infinity has an end
as the past has its time”
