Fever [1998]
(in Wintersleep, Ronsdale Press, Vancouver, 1998; The Collected Radio Drama of Marie-Claire Blais, Cormorant Press, Toronto, 2007)
Original
Résumé A woman with explosive energy and discontent in a torrid climate engages in a monologue which barely shifts into dialogue with her husband, a representative of the rich, bored, blasé occidental world she has come to despise. Extrait « MAN: I do believe we're happy. / WOMAN: Yes, oh yes. / MAN: I hope you don't mind too much... / WOMAN: Mind what? / MAN: You know, over there. / WOMAN: The misery? / MAN: I guess so. I hope it doesn't stop you from relaxing just the same. / WOMAN: His sun-gilt face then closes again and becomes just a head tilted against the chaise-lounge...like a casket. Is that what is meant by a face bathed in happiness? » |
