太平洋の防波堤 (集英社文庫)

Duras's lyrical language immerses readers in the harsh realities of the characters. Did anyone else feel the setting was almost a character itself?

The novel delves deeply into social disparities, but I'm curious about the author's personal or historical influences that led to this focus.

The nonlinear storytelling and introspective tone made the story feel layered. Was this a deliberate choice to evoke certain emotions or themes?
