Description
Elisabeth Alione convalesces in a rural French hotel when she meets two men and another woman, sparking a sophisticated dalliance that masks an underlying violence. As the curtain of civilization is drawn aside, a chilling form of madness is revealed among her fellow guests.
This novel by Marguerite Duras explores themes of eroticism, lassitude, stifled desire, and the complexities of human relationships. Like many of Duras's works, Destroy, She Said features a skillful interplay of dialogue and description, drawing on cinematic influences.
An in-depth interview with Duras by Jacques Rivette and Jean Narboni is included in this volume, offering insight into the author's work and artistic vision.
