| Summary: | Chapter 5 of the book "In Language and in Love: Marguerite Duras: The Unspeakable" is presented. The chapter focuses on the uncanny force of Battambang in the author's discussion of the books "Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein" and "Le Vice-consul," by Marguerite Duras. According to the author, there are single words that are made to vibrate and resonate in mysterious ways in the work of Duras, the most memorable of which is Battambang, a word that becomes a peculiar background drone to the banalities of social discourse in "Le Vice-consul." |
