Book summaryThis comprehensive biography of the internationally influential novelist Duras draws on 16 boxes of previously unavailable personal papers, as well as interviews with Duras's contemporaries. Her troubled childhood, epitomized by problematic relationships with her mother and brothers, her alcoholic tendencies, and her often contradictory political actions in Vichy Paris are elucidated here alongside consideration of her contribution to literary history. Media reviews"Adler admires much of Duras's writing but acknowledges the complexity and unattractiveness of her subject's character, particularly later in life.....This is a full and vigorous biography...." |
