«Écrire» is the essay by Marguerite Duras, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (123 pages, in French).
Marguerite Duras reflects on the essential solitude of the writer and on the close relationship between life and writing. Drawing on memories —children skating on the pond while she works, the death of a fly in her pantry, the young English pilot who fell in Normandy in 1944— she shows how these everyday scenes feed the creative process and mourning.
The work was originally published in 1993; this edition in the Folio collection (no. 2754) appeared on October 13, 1995.
For readers interested in the literary craft, the creative process and the essayistic work of Marguerite Duras.
Marguerite Germaine Marie Donnadieu, known as Marguerite Duras, was a French novelist, playwright, screenwriter, essayist, and experimental filmmaker. Her script for the film Hiroshima mon amour (1959) earned her a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards.
