This a painful and emotional read. Fear, pain, avoidance, faith, hope all gathered into this 50 pages of writing. Duras. 40 years after the prisoners, deported and soldiers arrive in Paris as Berlin burns is blunt but poignant. Luminous with black holes of despair. Sentences where the best of people is overshadowed by the worst, by indifference and the will to move on and forget. #readinginFrenchJuly
