Description

The Lover Wartime Notebooks: Practicalities A collection of personal meditations from Marguerite Duras, tracing her formative experiences and the personal history behind her bestselling novels. These deceptively simple pieces, dictated near the end of her life, offer witty and earthy insights into motherhood, domesticity, sex, love, alcohol, writing, and more. Written in spare and luminous prose, they are surprisingly fresh and relevant to the same issues today. Duras's wartime writings, previously unpublished, reveal the personal history behind her most famous novel, The Lover, as well as other works. This collection provides a unique glimpse into the life and thoughts of a leading intellectual and novelist of post-war France.
