Product Description
Born in a northern suburb of Saigon in 1914, Marguerite Duras became one of the most prolific and analyzed figures in 20th-century French literature and film. She earned initial fame with her novel, Moderato Cantabile (1958), which sold half a million copies and won the Prix de Mai. At the request of Alain Resnais, she wrote a scenario on the bombing of Hiroshima. Resnais's film, Hiroshima, Mon Amour (1959), became an immediate hit at Cannes, thus earning Duras further fame. But even after these achievements, little was written about her work until the early 1970s. Since then, the situation has reversed, and a tremendous number of critical and scholarly works have been written about her. This bibliography includes annotated entries for works by and about Duras and includes a brief critical biography and chronology recounting the major events in her life and career. ... Read more

Product Description
This comparative study of the work of Colette and Marguerite Duras analyses the complex and intricate links between identity and narrative, and challenges recent theoretical discussion in both literary and psychoanalytic domains. Exploring the textual preoccupations that Colette and Duras shared - in particular their concerns with gender relations, with the genesis of the woman writer, and with the fraught but fascinating bonds between mothers and daughters and lovers - this analysis highlights how the profoundly different perspectives of Colette and Duras mark out space for a new interrelation of self and other; an interrelation that emphasises the enigmatic territories of consciousness such as fantasy and memory, and the significant collision of subjectivities in erotic, desiring and familial relations. Working with the most recent and innovative developments in performative theory and Kristevan psychoanalysis, this book offers a new reading of subjectivity through the creative interplay of theory and text. ...
