Marguerite Duras - Apocalyptic Desires (Cód: 9625661)

Marguerite Duras is France'apos;s best-known and most controversial contemporary woman writer. Duras'apos; influence extends from her early novels of the 1950'apos;s to her radically innovative experimental autobiographical text of the 1980'apos;s The Lover
Leslie Hill'apos;s book throws new light on Duras'apos; relationship to feminism, psychoanalysis, sexuality, literature, film, politics, and the media. Feted by Kristeva, and Laca who claimed her as almost his other self, Duras is revealed to be a profoundly transgressive thinker and artist. It will be a must for all concerned with contemporary writing, writing by women, recent European cinema, film and literature.
