Me & Other Writing

Me & Other Writing | Marguerite Duras

2 posts | 3 to read

Literary Nonfiction. Fiction. Essay. Film. Literary Criticism. Translated by Olivia Baes and Emma Ramadan. Introduction by Dan Gunn. In her nonfiction as well as her fiction, Marguerite Duras's curiosity was endless, her intellect voracious. Within a single essay she might roam from Flaubert to the "scattering of desire" to the Holocaust; within the body of her essays overall, style is always evolving, subject matter shifting, as her mind pushes beyond the obvious toward ever-original ground. ME & OTHER WRITING is a guidebook to the extraordinary breadth of Duras's nonfiction. From the stunning one-page "Me" to the sprawling 70-page "Summer 80," there is not a piece in this collection that can be easily categorized. These are essayistic works written for their times but too virtuosic to be relegated to history, works of commentary or recollection or reportage that are also, unmistakably, works of art.

Me & Other Writing | Marguerite Duras

For my birthday, I ordered the complete library of Dorothy books. It's an indie press dedicated to publishing works (old, new, in translation) by women. There are exactly 20 titles so perfect for May #bookspin.

TheAromaofBooks haha well there is no pressure!! Many people are only reading the regular one or two books, and others are just going to see how far through their list they can get!! Very few people seem to anticipate actually reading all 20!! 5y
