Marguerite Duras,
the work of her life

Marguerite Duras. A woman who wrote herself. In her, life, love, and writing are integral elements of a single story. Duras was born and grew up surrounded by violence, love, and death. In her work, a product of this experience, it is almost impossible to place the boundary between reality and fiction. She said of herself that in her long journey she had only been faithful to alcohol and writing.

Duras projects herself as the author of desire, the narrator of eros. Her theater, her narrative, and her cinema are filled with contradictory emotion. They pulse with the rhythm of her own life. Her style became increasingly abstract, intimate, and openly feminist. The silences, the sudden and inexplicable violence, the bite of passion, the shipwreck in love, form the core of her creation. A frenetic, compulsive, free, unclassifiable artist, who has transcended to become a popular icon.

Her firm disdain for public opinion allowed her to express herself without filters. Winner of the Grand Prix de Théâtre of the French Academy, she directed her own theatrical texts such as La
Musique. With The Lover (1984), she won the Prix Goncourt, and achieved global success, with more than three million copies sold and translated into forty languages. She wrote the screenplay for Hiroshima, mon amour, a film directed by Alain Resnais, Duras was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 1961. Her literary work includes about forty novels and a dozen plays. She wrote La Musique in 1965. Duras died on March 3, 1996, in Paris, a month before turning 82 years old. French literature mourned the farewell of one of its most controversial figures of the 20th century.
