Janet’s review of Practicalities > Likes and Comments

Marguerite Duras was so fucking cool; even as an older lady in obviously deteriorating health, everything about her was extraordinary- her glasses, the way she held her cigarette...

As a child, I was absolutely fascinated by older people who retained that quality of incredible style all their lives, and was obsessed with figuring out how they did that.

That's why the back of my old punk rock leather says "Non, je ne regrette rien"...

I'm sold, Janet. Well done review, as always!

Thanks Liam, I feel the same about her. You'll love this book.

Il est arrivé!!! I didn't expect it to get here so quickly!

I suspect you are right that I'll love it; your review really painted an irresistible picture...

I am going to start reading it as soon as I have "Brodarted" it- I'm really looking forward to this one!
