Have you ever loved someone so much that you wanted to die? If you said yes, this is the book for you. It’s the ultimate Nouveau Roman yearning book.

(english below)

Uma pequena peça sobre o outro, o sexo, a solidão, um quarto, o tempo, a sua dimensão, o desconhecido, o desejo, o sofrimento, o sentimento, a sua omissão, o ser, a sua anulação, o amor, o sono, o medo, a noite, a morte, a vida, a praia, o tabú, a luz, o branco, os olhos azuis, o cabelo preto.

Blue Eyes, Black Hair by Marguerite Duras
This was my first book from the writer. Marguerite Duras has such a way with words; in this case we can say that less is more, for her writing speaks volumes in this small piece. This is mainly because this is a book about feelings and, giving some time after reading it, it still hovers in my head - it's inevitable to not think about it afterwards.

A bit too conceptual for my tastes.
