Dear Viewer,
I hope you have already read The Lover; I hadn't, and I always thought I would, it's just that a lot of years have passed since I first came across it- like, 35 or 40 years! It's embarrassing, but I know you won't judge me, and I won't judge you, either; but I hope you do read it, I hope you read it in the next 30 days, let alone years, but whenever you get to it, you will want more from Marguerite Duras. And so. Let me offer you something that doesn't need you to turn the pages, but will give you some Marguerite Duras: Hiroshima Mon Amour; your film assignment for this month!
PS Now; not now, later, when you have read The Lover, or watched the film, you might want to read this, too.
