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 storytelling, all the essays together operate as a deceitful, yet indispensable confession.

De eerste zinnen van het essay Schrijven klinken als volgt: 'In een huis is een mens pas werkelijk alleen. En niet buiten dat huis maar er binnenin. In het park zijn vogels, katten. Maar ook weleens een eekhoorn, een fret. In een park ben je niet alleen. Maar in het huis ben je zo alleen dat je er gek van wordt, soms' (p.9) Ik zit thuis, er binnenin, noodgedwongen opgesloten. Afgesloten. Nu nog de eenzaamheid en ik ben klaar om te schrijven.

som med södergran och när man har så samlade verk i övrigt om man får se fler sidor av författare blir man besviken. och jag vet inte ibland känns det bara som ett ihopplock av ett förlag av ofärdiga texter för att tjäna mer pengar på ett namn. jag gillade den sista texten dock men det är för att jag är en sucker för utställningar

The first chapter took my breath away. It was interesting to explore the author’s thoughts on writing but the rest - second, third, fourth and fifth- were mostly incoherent and somehow chaotic thoughts and dialogues..

Uhhhhhh. I didn't get it but the prose was hypnotic nonetheless.

Duras ilginç bir yazar. Her kitabında farklı hissiyat uyandırdı bende. Her anlatısını sevdiğimi de iddia edemem. Yine de yaşama bakış açısı ve bunu ifade ediş biçiminde ilginç bir cazibe var. Önerebilir miyim herkese, sanmıyorum. Ben Sevgili adlı eserini ve kendisi ile yapılan röportajlardan oluşan Askıya Alınmış Tutku adlı kitabı beğenmiştim. Fikirlerini yazıya yönelik tutkusunu, yazının yazarın ne olduğuna dair yorumlarını içeren bu kısa anekdotlari okurken sıkılmadım. Çok beğendiğim yorumları da oldu okurken biraz kasvet bastığı anlar da. Velhasılkelam karışık hisler besliyorum yazara karşı yine de onun eserlerine çeken bir şey var beni. Bilmiyorum nedir (:
