\u003cdiv\u003eMoving through a variety of locales and adventures, \u003cI\u003eThe Truth about Marie\u003c/I\u003e revisits the unnamed narrator of Toussaint's acclaimed Running Away, reporting on his now disintegrated relationship with the titular Marieâthe story switching deftly between first- and third-person as the narrator continues to drift through life, and Marie does her best to get on with hers. Like all of Toussaint's novels, \u003cI\u003eThe Truth about Marie\u003c/I\u003e's plot matters far less than its pace and tempo, its chain of images, its sequence of events. From pouring rain in Paris to blazing fires on the island of Elba, from moments of intense action to perfectly paced lulls, \u003cI\u003eThe Truth about Marie\u003c/I\u003e relies on a series of contrasts to tell a beguiling, and finally touching, story of intimacy forever being regained and lost.\u003c/div\u003e |
