While almost all of Durasâs novels have been translated into English, her debut The Impudent Ones (Les Impudents) has been a glaring exceptionâuntil now. Fans of Duras will be thrilled to discover the germ of her bold, vital prose and signature blend of memoir and fiction in this intense and mournful story of the Taneran family, which introduces Durasâs classic themes of familial conflict, illicit romance, and scandal in the sleepy suburbs and southwest provinces of France.
Durasâs great gift was her ability to bring vivid and passionate life to characters with whom society may not have sympathized, but with whom readers certainly do. With storytelling that evokes in equal parts beauty and brutality, The Impudent Ones depicts the scalding effects of seduction and disrepute on the soul of a young French girl.
