Writing
"Written in the splendid bareness of her late style, these pages are Marguerite Duras's theory of literature. Comparing a dying fly to the work of style; remembering the trance and incurable disarray of writing; recreating the last moments of a British pilot shot during World War II and buried next to her house, or else letting out a magisterial 'So what?' to question six decades of story telling, all operate as a deceitful, yet indispensable confession."--Back cover.
