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

Omlouvám se za narušení Hunger Games maratonu, ale potřebovala jsem si přečíst zas něco francouzskyho před snad už mojí poslední zkouškou tady v Paříži. Každopádně u tohohle jsem fakt tweakovala, nejenom z toho, co a jak bylo napsaný, ale i z formátu, kdy se během stránky úplně randomly a nenápadně začal zvětšovat nebo zmenšovat font? A její hlavni myšlenka, že potřebuje psát a musí psát, a pak najednou že si představuje jak zabiji všechny Němce (psaný v roce ‘93 btw), zajímavý.
