Opis

This book offers a study of the whole of Duras's written oeuvre, covering journalism and lesser-known works as well as more famous texts. It brings out the constant presence of ethical questions in and around the experiences of passion and excess with which her work is always concerned, and subjects Duras's texts to an unprecedented level of close reading, carrying her beyond the terms of her usual reception.

Recenzje

Excellent study ... a bold and original introduction ... Throughout the study Crowley conveys beautifully the dizzying dilemmas posed by a Duras text, and provides an eloquent account of what it means for the 'stumbling reader' to experience its multiple challenge to easy recuperability.
