The Wartime Notebooks trace Duras's formative experiences - including her difficult childhood in Indochina and her harrowing wait for her husband's return from Nazi internment - revealing the personal history behind her bestselling novels. The Lover is the best known of these; set in pre-war Indochina, its haunting tale of a tumultuous affair between an adolescent French girl and her wealthy Chinese lover is based on her own life. In spare and luminous prose, Duras evokes life on the margins in the waning days of France's colonial empire, and the passionate relationship between two unforgettable outcasts. Practicalities is a collection of small and intensely personal pieces Duras dictated near the end of her life. These deceptively simple meditations on motherhood, domesticity, sex, love, alcohol, writing, and more are witty, earthy, outspoken and surprisingly fresh and relevant to the same issues today. 600 10 $3 Wartime notebooks $a Duras, Marguerite $v Diaries. 600 10 $3 Practicalities $a Duras, Marguerite $v Interviews. 650 0 $3 The lover $a Man-woman relationships $z Indochina $v Fiction. 650 0 $3 The lover $a Teenage girls $z Indochina $v Fiction. 651 0 $3 The lover $a Indochina $v Fiction. 650 0 $3 Wartime notebooks $a Women authors, French $y 20th century $v Diaries. 650 0 $3 Wartime notebooks $a Authors, French $y 20th century $v Diaries. 650 0 $3 Practicalities $a Authors, French $y 20th century $v Interviews. 700 1 $a Kushner, Rachel, $e author of introduction. 700 12 $a Duras, Marguerite. $t Amant. $l English. 700 12 $a Duras, Marguerite. $t Cahiers de la guerre et autres textes. $l English. 700 12 $a Duras, Marguerite. $t Vie mateÌrielle. $l English. 830 0 $a Everyman's library ; $v 380. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517010423.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403010928.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF34B44E370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
